I absolutely disagree with the proposal to issue new licenses for train and trial areas. I believe the initial intent to gradually phase out these sorts of training facilities was correct. Read more

I am very much against allowing new licenses for dog train and trial areas in Ontario, or anywhere really. This is both unbelievably cruel to the dogs being trained and to the wild animals caught and kept in pens for baiting the dogs. Or what you refer to as training the dogs. Read more

This practice has no place in Ontario. It is cruel and despicable. The fact that it is even being entertained is reprehensible. It exploits and tortures wild animals and puts domestic dogs at unnecessary risk.

I strongly object to the Ministry’s proposal to amend the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, 1997 to permit the expansion of licences for new dog train and trial areas and the transfer of licences. Read more

To take wildlife from their natural environment and hold them captive for hunters to use them as bait to train their dogs is one of the most inhumane things I've ever heard! New licenses AND the transfer of existing licenses for dog train and trial areas in Ontario must not go forward. Read more

Please do not proceed with this. This is needlessly cruel, and I honestly have no idea why you are spending time considering ways to be cruel to animals when our healthcare system and education system need your support. Read more

I DO NOT believe in "penned hunting". This is abhorrent & it breaks my heart. Injuring or BUYING animals or taking them out of their natural habitat??? Training dogs?? I have two dogs and would never train them for this type of sport?!??!??!?! These places need to remain CLOSED!!

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 can't believe that in 2023, we go back in the 18th century by allowing people using hunting dogs on wildlife. This is nonsense and the government should adopt modern policies, not retrograde ones.
