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 who are subjected to various methods used to train dogs to hunt. Read more

This is absolutely uncivilized and not what Canada is for. Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters. Its extremely evil. It’s especially cruel to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as pawns for hunters to train dogs and hold competitions. Read more

disgusting. unnecessarily cruel and completely out of step with our modern understanding of animals. anyone who promotes or supports these types of archaic and frankly barbaric practices should be ashamed of themselves, though shame seems to be severely lacking from this current government.

What year is this? How are we supposed to progress as a species if we allow this to happen to others? This is wrong on so many levels, but most of all a basic moral level. Suffering is suffering and torture is torture whether we witness it or not. Read more

After learning about this proposal, I have become very concerned of its ramifications on animal welfare in Ontario. The practice of trialing seems completely at odds with 21st century wildlife management and the treatment of animals both domestic and wild. Read more

This is a very disturbing practice to allow, and something a very small subset of extremists would support. I’m sure the majority of the population strongly disagrees with supporting this type of animal cruelty. Read more

I am against this proposal. These facilities and fenced in areas are just another excuse to use up and take over already stolen land for the purpose of training dogs? Who asked for this? Read more

This is inhumane and barbaric. I am a resident of Parry Sound and I am horrified that my MPP would condone the licensing of “canned hunts.” These licenses should be discontinued, not expanded. Is that what we have come down to? Read more

This practice is awful. It is cruel to treat wild animals in this way. How is this any different than catching an animal and torturing it for sport? Each animal is an important part of our ecosystem and should be treated with respect, not captured or raised in order to be hunted for sport. Read more

This is a step backwards and that it’s being considered is a slap in the face to anyone who cares about animal welfare. I can’t imagine the terror these poop animals are subjected to. Please please do not do this.

I am a rural Ontarian who has had to control coyotes and foxes in the protection of livestock on several occasions and have practiced responsible hunting of small game in the past. I also own a dog which will soon be charged with protecting livestock. Read more

Instead of opening new applications, the province’s existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately. Animals do not need to be tortured in such a cruel and inhumane way. I strongly reject this proposal and I am disgusted we still have these facilities.
