Please vote no to new dog hunting licenses. Leave the wildlife alone. All of these politicians pushing through “green” bike lanes clogging up roads creating more emissions that are worse for the environment. Well this one definitely ain’t green either.

I am totally horrified at the suggestion that dogs will be trained to kill coyotes, rabbits, and other animals. It is unclear to me whether this is supposed to be a sporting event or a herd cull, but both are repugnant. What the heck are we doing in Ontario for such a proposal is considered?

I am in favour of retaining the existing policy which would result in eventually phasing out these facilities.
Sport that involves using animals (wildlife or not) in a way that will lead to misery is not something that aligns with social values in Ontario, or Canada in my opinion.

Wildlife should be able to pass freely. Containing wildlife for the purpose of hunting training? Anyone who needs dogs to hunt or wildlife to be contained should not be hunting, period. Dogs retrieving dead birds is fine. Farm dogs trained to alert farmers and keep coyotes away is fine.

penned animal hunting of any kind is a cruel and disgusting activity and certainly not a "sport " As a society we are trying to move forward on all environmental issues including the respect for all wild animals .Please do not let this happen .
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.
NO, do not agree...pet spaces are now regulated under game and wildlife... whats next kids play grounds ... its a fricken cash grab, tell ford to stop selling off our stuff to the benefit of his friends... he's ruined this province!
Train and trail is a bloodsport and should be banned outright. Cruelty to animals should not be condoned, licensed and /or encouraged by the government.
If hunters want to train their dogs, they should look at drag hunting (a scent is laid by humans) as practiced in the UK and elsewhere.

I am surprised that this proposal is under consideration. I was completely unaware that these facilities exist in Ontario and cannot understand how they can continue let alone be allowed to increase in number.

I strongly disagree with keeping captive animals to train dogs. Please do not pass this licence. Train the dogs in more natural, fair way if training is needed.
Other animals are not existing only for this purpose. Please reconsider.
This Bill is a grotesque proposal. It is proposing to legalize the inhumane brutal, bloody, violent killing of confined wild animals. It legitimizes the use of dogs for sport killing.

Taking the life of any animal should never be taken lightly. Killing animals for food is one thing, but killing animals for sport and entertainment is quite another. What will be next? Legalized dog and cock fights? Please don’t allow this inhumane legislation to pass.

I am shocked to find places like this exist in Ontario in 2023! This is barbaric! If the public (beyond Doug Fords hunting buddies) knew about this there would be an outrage. No new licenses should be allowed and the current facilities should be closed.

This proposal is absolutely sickening. I am imagining how the coyotes, foxes and rabbits are feeling when they are being chased. This is not a “sport” in any way, shape or form. I cannot believe that this is being given any consideration. Lame excuse that it will go underground if not sanctioned.

Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters. It’s especially cruel to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as pawns for hunters to train dogs and hold competitions.
