This sport of dogs chasing down captured animals is barbaric. Oh but I forgot, it’s okay because the coyotes are bred for this entertainment so that makes it less distasteful. Really, this is happening in Ontario, or is it some kind of joke??

I am firmly against any proposal that expands the use of live animals for hunt training purposes. There are alternatives that can be used to train the dogs, such as the scent drags used for fox hunting on horseback now. The dogs pursue the dragged scent, rather than live game.

Extending the practice of enclosed caged hunting for the purposes of training hunting dogs is WRONG,
and harmful to the environment and wildlife. I AM ABSOLUTELY OPPOSED TO THIS PRACTICE AND THIS REGULATION TO ALLOW IT
Do you think that animals being torn apart by dogs is sportsmanship? You are vile human beings. May you receive everything you deserve. What cruel, horrible things were fine to you to make you think this is acceptable.
This is an absolutely barbaric idea. To hold wild animals in captivity for the purpose of allowing dogs to hunt them down and kill them is unconscionable. It's also a dangerous thing to do.

Opinion of an Ontario citizen:
If the intention of the act was to phase out these dog train and trial areas by not issuing and not allowing transfer of licenses, then this should not be amended.
Ontario government -- seriously?? Allowing captive foxes, coyotes and other wild animals to be used as bait to train hunting dogs?? What part of "inhumane" do you not understand?
We are a generational hunting family. We have needed to protect out crops and livestock from predation, however, this is a disgustingly cruel practise and I strongly disagree with the Ontario government’s proposal.

* 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 should not be permitted.

This is cruelty to the wildlife who did not ask to be subjected to this canned hunting program. The policy speaks very coldly about these animals who will likely suffer greatly. They are spoken about as if they are objects and not sentient beings.

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. Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals used to train dogs to hunt.

Allowing new licenses, or transfer of licenses for this cruel and disgusting practice absolutely should not happen. Surely to goodness our society should have advanced beyond condoning the suffering of animals for entertainment, which is all this is.

This is great news to hear. I now have to travel to the US in order to run my hounds. This would help keep people spending money in ON. It's alot safer for us not having to worry about traffic and our hounds getting run over.
