No. Don’t do this. It is cruel and barbaric and reflects horribly on the Province, its people and particularly its government. We don’t need more blood driven dogs chasing our wildlife.

I was horrified to learn that the Ontario government is considering reversing a ban on penned hunting or "train and trial areas," which are banned in every other province in Canada and most states in the US.

This is seriously disgusting and cruel. We are better than this. This causes mass amounts of suffering on wildlife who cannot fend for themselves or ever have a chance in hell to get away, but it also causes injury and death to the dogs. It's a blood sport.
Please do not allow for this proposal to pass. It is inhumane and cruel to have these captive animals hunted for sport. I am strongly opposed to this proposal!
I strongly oppose this proposal to allow new licenses, and the transfer of existing licenses, for dog training and trial areas. Dog hunting facility is cruel to the captive animals used for hunting.

This is a cruel and unnecessary method to train these dogs.Captive animals cannot behave as they would if free.They are unable to use their usual means of escape.
We should not be allowing new applications, or transfer of old ones. We should be closing down any such facility. It is barbaric, elitist, unnecessary and makes me loath to be considered a human.

I was disturbed to see the Ontario government considering allowing new cruel "train and trial areas". Please leave the ban on penned hunting in place and shut down any remaining train and trial areas in Ontario.

This is an embarrassment to Ontario. These facilities are cruel, with the cruelty justified only by their role in an obscure, antiquated sport.

This is not acceptable. This is not a sport. It is a bloodshed and is utterly disgraceful, cruel and unfathomable. This government is now condoning animal abuse? They is nothing right about trapping terrified animals in pens and having them get torn apart. How will you regulate this?

We are not in the middle ages any more and doing such use of traine dogs to block access to the wildlife only increase the amount of wild animals in the neighberhood of big cities.
