It was disappointing to me to read that Ontario currently allows this type of "training" and I became disgusted to learn that the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is proposing to amend the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, 1997 and associated regulations to expand this practice.

This is archaic, cruel, inhumane, and simply wromg. 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.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I condemn the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow expansion to the existing train and trial facilities in Ontario.
“Train and trial” and “penned hunting” are euphemisms for inhumanely terrorizing wildlife, again, and again, and again.

This practice seems entirely unethical, and was phased out years ago for a reason. Why kill coyotes, foxes, and rabbits needlessly, and painfully, when hunting is already legalized and occurs in the according hunting seasons?

The practice proposed by the Premier regarding baiting wildlife for killing by dogs in barbaric, cruel and serves no purpose. The Premier's judgement is wrong and downright abusive to animals. Stop this archaic practice.
I support ERO #019-3685 Proposal to allow the issuance of licences for new dog train and trial areas and the transfer of licences as written.

Do you people not recognize that these are living creatures and if held in captivity should not be exposed to the fear of being hunted in an enclosed area where there is no escape. It is a disgrace in this day and age and you people who condone this practice should be ashamed of yourselves.

It was shocking to me to learn via a Change.org petition that at this time, during humanity's current efforts of pressing back against a lack of empathy in the world, that there could actually still be such cruel and unfair practices, sanctioned by the government of Ontario, as what this proposal is

To whom it may concern,
I’m deeply disturbed that Ontario plans to reverse a province-wide ban on new cruel “train and trial areas”, where hunters participate in the bloodsport of penned dog hunting.
HOW CAN WE CALL OURSELVES HUMAN BEINGS?

This is absolutely disgusting. It causes undue suffering for wildlife and it is barbaric. This is very similar to ancient forms of entertainment that were outlawed long ago. It is disgusting that a modern society would continue to allow such cruelty.

This proposal is deeply upsetting and disturbing to me. The idea to use innocent and sentient beings to train hunting dogs does not align with Canada's values as a country, nor mine. Wildlife is not ours to torture, terrorize or use.

Killing any living being for entertainment is a barbaric practice. Training dogs on other animals, so that people can hunt for entertainment and trophies should not be allowed. It is baffling that this is even being considered in Canada!!!
I completely disagree with a proposal allowing live animals to be used as bait. This is disgusting, cruel, inhumane and unethical. I hope this proposal is rejected.
I strongly oppose the MNR and Forestry's proposal to allow new licences and transfer of existing licences for dog train and trial areas in Ontario. In fact this practice should be illegal as it is everywhere else in Canada.
