This obscenity of using wildlife to train hunting dogs is ridiculous.What brilliant mind thought that this was okay?I have never heard of this before,but I am glad I was informed.How cruel and inhumane!!!You all should be ashamed and resign your positions as incompetence is running rampant.

These penned-in dog facilities are barbaric and should be banned outright. I am disgusted by the blatant cruelty to animals, both as predators and victims. Another example of a rash, backwards-thinking proposal by Ontario. Violent, medieval, and unethical.

Hello, I was surprised that this exists. I think that this is a very barbaric thing to do to an animal (foxes, coyotes). I am embarrassed that this type of enterprise is allowed, let alone encouraged in our province. Read more

This practice is babaric and unneccessary. There is no need to put an animal into this high stress situation to be hunted by a dog. Hunters should go out and find their own game without dog finding them for them. Or go to the store an purchase ethically sourced meet for consumption. Read more

This is so upsetting g and truly barbaric. To have wildlife torn apart for training. Has it come to this. There are more avenues and solutions to explore instead of implementing this sick idea.

The Ford Government needs to ban these training compounds permanently, full stop. This is a heinous and barbaric practice that exposes wildlife to a high risk of injury and death. What happens when the bait animals are run down from exhaustion frantically searching for an escape route. Read more

I do not support the proposal to allow for the issuance of licenses for new dog train and trial areas and the transfer of licenses. This is barbaric and violent and disturbing that the Ontario government would even consider this change. These facilities need to be abolished. Read more

It’s unbelievable that these facilities still actually exist and Ontario citizens would not support growth in this barbaric hunting modality. It may be fun and games for those humans who have nothing better to do with their lives than manipulate and torture animals for their own entertainment. Read more

I am outraged by the use of captured wild animals to be used for training hunting dogs. This is cruel to the glorious animals that are wild and "supposedly" free. People can always train dogs to hunt by using decoy traning, which doesn't kill anything! Read more

- this is a barbaric practice in this day and age not needed to scent train a hunting dog - pheromones and decoys are as effective - in the UK the barbaric principle of fox hunts was changed because of wildlife welfare and decoys are used - in the EU this is against the law Read more

Dear Public Input Coordinator, I would like to express my opposition to the creation of new 'train and trial' facilities, with special regard for how it facilitates the highly unethical and cruel act of 'hunting dog competitions.' Read more

It’s unnecessary cruelty and a lazy practice used more for human entertainment. Hunting dogs can be trained by other means and exercised year round the way all other dogs are exercised. I’m not against sustainable hunting but this is almost as low brow as dog fighting. Read more
