This is really disappointing, the whole concept when the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act was passed was that these sporting dog training and trialing compounds would be grandfathered and no new licenses issued so at some point in the future they would cease to exist.

Very happy to hear that this issue has finally came up for a review. I personally feel that there has been a great injustice to every one that has had and interest in either purchasing or building there own enclosure.

As President of the Ontario Deer Hound Association I would like to thank the MNRF on their
decision to Bill 91 as our membership is need of training and enclosed facilities for the purpose

I am in favour of the proposal. The existing train and trial areas have caused very few issues. All hunting dogs need to be trained. Currently there have enforcement issues with hunters using hounds to hunt deer and/or coyotes.

My sons and there friends would love this opportunity to run,train and exercise there hunting dogs, both beagles and walkers. This would be such a great opportunity for many outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy the great outdoors in a controlled and safe atmosphere.

I am all for this but wonder why the short time frame for applications. Why not have a lottery for let's say 3-5 licenses a year if the need arises. By limiting you are creating the need for new legislation if you want to open up the process again
It is imperative that the sporting dog community have an opportunity to continue their sport in a safe environment for the dogs involved and the game that is the target of each breed.

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.

Why? This is definitely something that I dont see as necessary.
This is inhumane for those being hunted, and then who is going to take care of the dogs after?
Im not sure why the ministry is coming up with ideas that are taking votes away from Ford!
How is this different from dog fighting which has been banned in most civilized countries? This is a blood sport being supported by the very people who are charged with the responsibility of protecting our wildlife.

This is disgraceful, inhumane and cruel. One more thing the government of Ontario does to abuse and destroy the wildlife. This ministry disgusts me. Do NOT pass this barbaric proposal.
My whole family is completely against this proposal!

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.
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. Opening applications for train and trial spaces after 25 years is a massive step backward.
It is 2023 and the Government sees no issue with enabling and promoting cruelty?
To even consider allowing these cruel, blood sports is unconscionable.
This is not about hunting for sustenance. This is about inflicting cruelty and then ripping apart animals for “sport”?
