This proposal is unethical and cruel. Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters. It’s especially cruel to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as pawns for hunters to train dogs and hold competitions.
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.
Nature and wildlife are integral to the identity of many Ontarians. I believe these proposals are counter to Ontarians wishes

This is clear endorsement of animal cruelty for capital gain. Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters. It’s especially cruel to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as pawns for hunters to train dogs and hold competitions.

Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals who are subjected to various methods used to train dogs to hunt.

Absolutely unnecessary practice that should never be allowed to be legal or licensed. Do not allow this practice to continue. Wild animals are not playthings. Shame on all those involved.

Dog train and trial areas are cruel, inhumane, and unethical.

This is truly disgusting to even consider. How is it not entirely cruel to capture and contain an animal for the sole purpose of being chased down and mutilated?

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. Hunting of animals by dogs is inefficient, cruel and is banned in many other countries, including the UK.

This is a barbaric practice and the of breeding animals to be inhumanity torn apart by dogs is inhumane and should never be allowed. Any hunter who thinks this is a good idea should have their hunting license revoked.
I think that the fact that we are even tabling this unethical and cruel form of animal cruelty really speaks to the general moral compass of the Ford administration. At the end of the day, all this administration cares about is making a quick buck with no considerations for the consequences.

Allowing train and trail areas as proposed here is animal cruelty, plain and simple! This should never have been allowed to happen in the past, nor should it be up for discussion in the present! We must leave wildlife alone as there are other ways to train dogs without torturing captive animals.
This practice is cruel and has no place existing in 2023. Please abolish this practice ASAP. Canada can’t be a place where animals are tortured. Let’s be friendly and welcome to all individuals, furry and human in this country.
These facilities should be closed. Allowing ownership and the creation of new licenses increases cruelty to wildlife in disguise as a sport and entertainment.
I do not support the capture and entrapment of what should be wild animals for the purposes of sport. This is cruel, unethical. This practice should continue to be tightened, not expanded.
