I thought this barbaric practice was being phased out??? Why is it being allowed? For what purpose and what special interest group? The government should be humane if nothing else. Read more

Please don’t let this happen!!!!! When I read about the use of penned wildlife to train hunting dogs, I was disgusted and heartbroken at the same time. This is so wrong, unfair and barbaric. All animals deserve a chance to live a fair life. Read more

Any cruelty by hunters proposed or legislated by the Ontario government is wrong. The cruelty of the human mind has no bounds and requires strict oversight to control the extent some residents of Ontario will go to obtain their enjoyment of cruelty hidden behind walls where it cannot be seen.

I do not support the expansion of licensing for hunting dog train and trial facilities in Ontario. The use of hunting dogs is an archaic and inhumane practice that has no place in a modern and compassionate society. Read more

The use of captive animals to train hunting dogs is cruel to the extreme for the animals being hunted. I realize that in the wild these same animals would also feel fear when they are hunted as prey; but this is a normal course of events. Read more

I can’t believe we as civilized humans have sunk so low as to even consider inhumane blood sports. These dogs will now pose a danger to all other animals and potentially humans with their taste for blood. Totally unacceptable!

In regard to the Proposal to allow the issuance of licences for new dog train and trial areas and the transfer of licences. This must be struck down. We do not want this barbarism in our community. Read more

If you are, indeed, using wild animals as live bait to train these dogs, that is reprehensible. There are other, much more humane methods (scent training, for example) that would work effectively. Shouldn't Canada be making more of an effort to be a leader in humane animal treatment?

I have seen the aftermath of this “sport” with my own eyes. An exhausted, pathetic looking coyote sitting in the covered box of a pickup truck, days after a hunt. I believe under our laws it’s illegal to keep native wildlife in captivity. Read more

I was happy in the 90’s when a Conservative government started the process of phasing out licences for dog trial areas in Ontario. I did not think I would have to worry about this regressive practice being allowed again. Read more
