This proposal should not be passed what so ever. Unbelievable that in the name of hunting and of “sport” that something as cruel and heartless would be even considered. If someone is truly a good hunter and has the need to kill, they shouldn’t have to train their dogs to assist.

I do not believe these training and trial facilities should be allowed in Ontario. It is cruel to trap and pen wild animals just so they can be killed as a dog training exercise. I oppose expanding existing facilities and request that all such facilities be closed immediately.
Re; Ontario’s Unethical Regression on Training and Trialing Compounds
- 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 Licenses should not be granted. The thought of such cruel and inhumane treatment of wildlife under the guise of "sport" is unbelievable to me. We need to protect wildlife while there is still wildlife to protect!!!
The MNRF should be protecting our wildlife and wilderness for conservation for all not just protected to be harvested by those making money or causing cruelty to be inflicted on innocent beings. I am against these trail snd trial licences and they should be phased out as the owners die out.

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

I am completely against this. This is a disgusting example of animal cruelty. To have animals trapped without a chance of escape is effectively torture. I had no idea these training contests even existed and am horrified to know they do and that they are still being considered and expanded.

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. A step backwards to bring back a practice that was phased out 25 years ago but a cruel practice on wildlife.
This sounds like yet another Doug Ford scheme (much like the cormorant hunt) to pacify and otherwise entertain demented people who enjoy killing things under the guise of blood sport.

These dog hunting facilities are cruel, barbaric, and unjust.

I am firmly opposed to the expansion of Training and Trialing facilities for using dogs to hunt animals like fox and coyote. I was unaware that such facilities were still in existence, and believe that these should be shut down.

I'm leaving this response in the hopes that the purposed revitalisation of Train and Trial areas is dismissed and the cruel/ immoral activity is not brought back.

Trapping wildlife and penning them to be used in hunting training is barbaric and cruel. This is a practise that needs to be phased out faster, not expanded.
This is horrible and the government should be actively removing all of these from Ontario, not supporting new ones. It's shameful that this is even a proposed policy.
