I can't believe I even have to write this. I am an avid hunter and angler but penned dog hunting facilities are cruel, barbaric and do not belong in Ontario.

The practice of dog training pens for hunting is inhumane, unethical, and unnecessary. Penned dog hunting causes extreme distress to the animals involved and is illegal in most provinces and states and in Canada and the United States, respectively.

Ontario should not be stepping back in time!
No matter how you look at this it is cruel and not supported by actual factual reports and studies.
Ask yourself, would you want any of your pets hunted like this or a loved one?

Training dogs to kill other animals, especially other k9s is reprehensible and dangerous.
How long until one kills a child and the dog it's walking?

The idea of terrifying and torturing animals, wild or domestic, is absolutely disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourselves for even considering it.
Opening applications for train and trial spaces is a massive step backward. These facilities have no place in Ontario, or in Canada.

It is inhumane to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as bait to train dogs. The eyes of the world are watching as the Ford Government tries to allow this travesty to expand. It must be stopped.
Hunting pens are inhumane and unethical. Wild animals such as foxes, coyotes, and rabbits are captured and held in captivity only to be subjected to cruelty, abuse, and suffering through the training and trialing of hunting dogs. These archaic facilities have no place in today’s society.

I am horrified to read that Ontario is considering allowing this extremely cruel, inhumane and unnecessary practise to expand. Please DO NOT expand the number of licenses (or transfer of licenses) for kill pens.

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.

I strongly disagree with this proposal to allow new licenses and the transfer of licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario. Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel and totally unnecessary in society.

Why can we never move forwards? At long last an antiquated, unnecessary and cruel business can be phased out or more fittingly be immediately stopped. It's time to do the right thing and buy the remaining licenses - businesses out.

Kill pens go against what fair hubting stands for.
Animals dying under distress and suffering is wrong in so many ways.
Please do not allow any new licences for kill pens in Ontario`
Wild animals should NOT be USED as bait for training dogs at all, especially not for competitions!! Using animals for entertainment purposes is cruelty to animals. I don't think coyotes or foxes are used as food as far as hunting for meat goes. We have to start treating animals with respect.
This is not acceptable. There is zero reason that dogs need to be trained to hunt in Ontario. Allowing wildlife to be used for sport in this is barbaric.
I would not have expected the government to ever consider a giant step backwards to encourage cruelty to animals. To place a petrified and relatively defenceless animal into a pen with a pack of predators is nothing short of torture.
