I am against this proposal. This method of training dogs is unnecessarily cruel and has been identified as inhumane. No new licences should be issued, no licenses transferred. Read more

This proposal is abhorrent and should not pass. Animal cruelty should not be permitted in Canada and it is unlawful to hold wildlife in captivity. A permit should not be provided to hold wildlife in captivity for the PURPOSE of animal cruelty.

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

To whom it may concerns: Expanding dog training and trialing facilities is a step backward for Ontario. These facilities rely on capturing and tormenting wild animals for recreational purposes, which is both unnecessary and cruel. Read more

This proposal to allow new licenses and the transfer of licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario is backwards and cruel. Wild animals should not be taken from their natural environments, held captive, and subjected to these inhumane methods of training dogs to hunt. Read more

No. I am strongly against this proposal. Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals who are subjected to various methods used to train dogs to hunt. There are plenty of existing Ontario facilities that do this and the only reason for expansion would be sport. This feels Read more

I am very disappointed and firmly reject the motion to reinstate dog trial areas where wild animals are held captive and mauled for “sport training.” This is a barbaric practice that has already been phased out and deemed inhumane by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 1997.

I am against this proposal! The Ford government has already displayed a lack of concern for wildlife habitat (proposed highway over wetlands), now we see the lack of concern for the animals with this proposal. The violence to, and stress it causes on the animals, is quite upsetting. Read more

This seems little removed from training dogs in dog fighting rings by allowing them to kill smaller more vulnerable animals to invoke and strengthen their prey drive. The statement that this will have a "neutral" impact on the wildlife species involved is flawed at best. Read more

I cannot understand why the training of dogs needs to include this barbaric practice of hunting wild animals in a penned area. If you change this law we are moving backwards in humanity not forwards. Read more
