This idea of trapping wildlife is simply awful, cruel and just disgusting! You need to end the use of wildlife for the process of training hunting dogs.  This inhumane practice is barbaric and needs to stop immediately. This is such shameful behavior towards these living beings. 😒 😪 Read more

Penned hunting without even giving a wild animal the chance to escape is cruel and inhumane. Is there anything of our natural world, the greenbelt, farmland, wood lots, watersheds, wildlife, that Doug Ford doesn’t want to destroy?

Using live wild animals to train hunting dogs is barbaric, to say the least. Hunting should only be for the sole purposes of providing food or culling over-populations. Even hunting for "sport" should never involve trapped wild animals released only to be chased down and killed by a pack of dogs. Read more

I 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 do not support this policy change. This is a step backward without any show of consideration to new methods or approaches or modernization of these training practices or commitment to proper oversight to minimize the potential for animal cruelty at these sites. Read more

Penned hunting facilities are cruel and inhumane. They have no place in today’s Ontario. I firmly stand against the proposal to allow new centres to open and believe the existing facilities should instead be closed. Read more

I am strongly against this change to policy as it is not required nor for any over riding positive purpose. Dog hunting of live animals is cruel and serves no purpose other than satisfying some personal pleasure of people. Read more

As a Canadian citizen I wish to comment on the issue of using captured wildlife to train hunting dogs. This practice is barbaric, and capturing wildlife for this and other cruel, barbaric practices should be banned in this country. Read more

This proposal is cruel and inhumane and throws us back into the past. It is just another attack on our environment and our wildlife. It is also one more reason to be sure this Ontario Conservative government is elected out at the first opportunity. Read more

This is absolutely disgusting. I’m all for regulated hunting and even increasing hunting tags, etc for populations but - training dogs in a penned in area seems unnatural and a bit sick. I am not in support of this whatsoever.

Wondering the purpose behind this proposal? Can an explanation be provided? Seems very bizarre in the day and age. We teach our children. About cruelty to animals, how is this being a model for them? I am fearful that this will be sending a wrong message to our children. Read more

This proposal is absolutely abhorrent. Using captive animals as bait is utterly disgusting. You clearly have no regard for sentient beings. This is absolutely inappropriate, disgusting, and barbaric. You cannot subject innocent animals to this form of torture, this is Canada, we know better. Read more

This is a cruel, disgusting, completely uneccesary and unwarranted proposal that should be considered animal abuse by anyone with any common sense. I hope this entire idea is thrown out and never again considered.

I've lived in this country 67 years and had no idea this inhumane and unnecessary practice took place. I cannot believe we would consider continuing this barbaric activity. Please stop.
