Please consider why these arcaic and violent pens were ceased in the first place. They simply are not humane. We have improved so much related to hunting, animal welfare, and overall understanding of the delicate link between wild animals and domesticated animals.

This process of subjecting CAPTIVE creatures Like Foxes and Coyotes to attack by dogs (in training) is inhumane and bespeaks to barbaric nature of all those involved in both the approval and the maintenance of this process.

I support the expansion of more coyote pens in Ontario because we need these facilities for training dogs without trespassing on other individuals property. The exercising of hounds is under strict super vision and always has the animals best interest in mind.
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.

Hello. As an Ontario citizen, I would prefer that this proposal not be enacted for several reasons, the main one concerning how it will affect the behavior of pet dogs.

This is NOT okay, but rather barbaric. How do you think it’s okay for dogs to go out and hunt wild animals and possibly be killed? Are you insane? Is this not animal cruelty at its finest?

This barbaric practice should be stopped. No animal should be subjected to unnecessary fear and cruelty at the hands of humans. While nature can be cruel, deliberately imposed cruelty by humans is avoidable and unnecessary.

I am fundamentally opposed to 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. This proposal is unethical and marks a major backward step in wildlife management in Ontario.

Why has Dough Ford allowed this cruelty...how about Mr. Ford in the Pen with hungry Pitbulls...it's training the dogs right and also a sport. Will he just stop destroying the Province . Stop this barbaric act already.
Penned hunting, whether or not for training, is barbaric, cruel, and unconscionable.
It also represents a reversal of an earlier decision to phase out this barbaric practice.

Animals are not in our world for us to use, abuse or neglect. Save our world from a disgusting future. Do not let people, hunters, businesses or politicians use animals for testing or training. Stop the abuse now!!!
I strongly oppose the training of dogs to hunt wildlife in penned facilities. Therefore, I reject the proposal to grant more licences for this purpose and propose that all existing penned training facilities be immediately shut down. Subjecting animals to terror and torment is cruel.
