I did not realize this was even a current practice. This is disgusting. For a province that outlawed dog fighting I’m in shock that this is even a proposal. Any creature that is collected for the sole purpose of training a hunting dog would undergo severe stress and pain.

This is horrendous and cruel treatment of wildlife! How terrifying to be chased and hunted down with no way to escape. Please, please do not allow this to continue!
I am writing to state my VEHEMENT opposition to this disgusting proposal. Please do not take us back to the unethical, horrific and torturous practices inflicted on innocent animals. This proposition is only for sport and entertainment for those people who participate.

This is absurd and disgusting that we’re even considering bringing this garbage back! We shun and made dog fighting illegal yet you’re ok with horribly and ruthlessly training poor dogs to hunt for wildlife along with hurting other animals all in the process.

Penned dog hunting is barbaric and should be prohibited in Ontario. The Ford Government’s proposal to licence new facilities is a step in the wrong direction. I’m strongly opposed to the creation of more of these facilities and hope this motion will be stopped.
Please do not allow this barbaric inhumane practice to be done on our wildlife...
This is a gathering for psychopathic behavior to commit an evil painful act upon another living being ..
This sounds like some backward, primitive agenda - just like the cowardly canning down in third world countries!!
I absolutely cannot understand why a so-called advanced society would do this.

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.

I think the idea of using penned animals to train dogs to hunt is barbaric and should be stopped immediately. Hunters today have more than enough equipment to aid them in their quest. I am not against hunting if you are hunting to eat, so it is not a want of eliminating hunting altogether.

This is a beyond cruel & barbaric practice that should never have even thought to have been allowed. The dogs evolved are victims as well.
It is all 100% animal cruelty & Canada is better than this!

It's inhumane to the wild animals which are used for the dogs in this "sport". Wild animals have fear just like us. Please do not cause more suffering for them.
This absolutely is appalling that in 2023 you’d allow or even consider this. This is absolutely barbaric. I am a registered veterinary technician and I am terrified to see the repercussions.

I’m deeply disturbed that Ontario plans to reverse a province-wide ban on new cruel “train and trial areas”, where hunters participate in the bloodsport of penned dog hunting.
