I firmly reject the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses and the transfer of licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario. Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals that are subjected to various methods used to train dogs to hunt. Read more

I am firmly against the changes and expansions to the penned dog hunting licenses in Ontario. This practice is cruel to any wild animals captured for this outrageous activity. This activity is unnecessary and detrimental to a progressive society.

Do we really want to encourage the killing of animals just for sport? What’s wrong with people? Become a golfer or a bird watcher, something that doesn’t involve the destruction of innocent animals. Hasn’t enough blood been shed due to the use of guns? Enough of these cruel and inhumane practices!

The coyotes, rabbits etc in these enclosures are NOT 'safe.' The government does not exist to remove barriers for hunters; it exists to keep wild animals safe. This is not that. There is absolutely no good reason to give people the opportunity to be cruel in an absolutely unnecessary sport. Read more

These facilities have no place in a humane society: not only should we not be issuing new licenses, the existing "train and trial" areas in Ontario should be closed. Watching dogs chase down and brutally kill wild animals isn't "sport", it's just cruelty. Read more

I think this is a cruel and unnecessary proposal. I think the government is thinking backwards in proposing this action. We are trying to evolve into a more gentle caring world, this is just barbaric and unnecessary.

These training and trial licenses should be made unlawful and the province should discontinue any expansion of licenses immediately. This is a disgusting over reach by hunters and poor oversight of the ministry of natural resources and forestry. Read more

The archaic and cruel practice of capturing and holding Wildlife for the purpose of later releasing them in an enclosed area from which there is no chance of escape for the purpose of "training" hunting Dogs has no place in our supposedly civilized society. This was banned decades ago. Read more

Wow….more barbaric torture for animals…back to the Stone Age?!! Disgusting….why. Just why. Merica has their guns and Canada tortures animals, is that the thing? Gross. There’s no help for stray animals, why should the Gov care about wildlife. Just imagine how awful this will make you look. Read more

I strongly oppose the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses, and the transfer of existing licenses, for dog train and trial areas in Ontario. New licenses for dog train and trial facilities are a huge step backward for society. Read more
