It is inhumane to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as bait to train dogs. New licenses for dog train and trial facilities are a huge step backward for society. These facilities have no place in Ontario. Read more

Is there not enough animal cruelty already in Canada? How can a government be so regressive and are you trying to intentionally loose as many votes as you can with these luddite these Train and Trial facilities in Ontario? What is wrong with you people! Read more

I am opposed to this proposal. There should be fewer such sites, not more. But really, there shouldn't be any. Hunting in nature is one thing, and if you can't train in nature, then too bad. What next? Cock fights and bear baiting?

I strongly oppose the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses, and the transfer of existing licenses, for dog train and trial areas in Ontario. These hunting facilities are inhumane and should be phased out as intended. Read more

As an Ontario resident and someone who loves dogs AND wildlife, I find myself utterly revolted by this proposal. What in God's name is wrong with you people? I am not anti-hunting, but this is disgusting. To subject captive wild animals to this kind of abuse is incredibly inhumane. Read more

This kind of barbaric treatment of innocent animals for the benefit of training hunting dogs makes my stomach sick!!! Hunting dogs are again for the rich and privileged in my mind and for these people we should choose to abuse animals!!! No animal should be treated with such cruelty! Read more

This proposal is unbelievably disgusting. NO animal, wild or domesticated, should be subjected to this kind of treatment. As the saying goes, it is like shooting fish in a barrel with the maximum amount of terror for the creature involved. What in the world are you thinking of? Read more

This is horrific and cruel treatment of wildlife and it must NOT be allowed in Ontario! You must stop this motion from going forward immediately and create more protection for wild animals, not make opportunities for cruel unnecessary entertainment of humans and domestic dogs.

This is wrong to consider opening more penned hunting facilities under the guise of training. There are other methods to train dogs. It was stopped over 20 years ago as it was found to be cruel, needless and wildlife should NEVER be forced to be trapped to be pawns in a chase. Read more

I do not approve of the cruelty to wild animals any more than you currently allow. Mankind continues to decimate and ruin at every turn with little thought to the wildlife at the receiving end of our inhumane "fun". Read more
