Is this 2023 or the 1800s?? What is going on?
Why would this be allowed? It is cruel. Who does this benefit? Not the dogs and not the coyotes. So who? Who wants this?
Animal cruelty should be prevented by the government, not sponsored!
I was horrified to see the Ontario government considering allowing new cruel “train and trial areas”. I’m against the Ontario government’s plan to reverse a province-wide ban on new cruel “train and trial areas” where hunters participate in the bloodsport of penned dog hunting.

I believe this practice is nothing short of barbaric. I can't believe we haven't closed down the facilities that are still operating. We must not allow any more of these wildlife torture camps.
I very strongly oppose the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses, and the transfer of the 24 existing licenses, for dog train and trial areas in the province of Ontario. This should not happen.

As a British Canadian who witnessed with pride and satisfaction the UK decision to ban the archaic and elitist, so-called sport of fox-hunting, I was shocked and sickened to discover, via the promoters of this petition to oppose the proposal, that the Canadian government had ever permitted, let alo

This proposal is appalling and inhumane. Wild animals should not be held in captivity nor should they be subjected to the unspeakable cruelty of being used as bait.
Seriously? Our wildlife has taken enough of a beating with climate change without the government making things worse. Please do not do this. It’s cruel.
I’m not sure what’s wrong with a world where beings that live and breathe and feel pain and have personalities are caged up and hunted with no way to get out. This coming from an environmental agency at that.

The Act in 1997 had the right idea about phasing out these training facilities over time. It is not understandable why a significant change is necessary to this Act. The training process of hunting dogs is cruel and inhumane to its victims. Please do not approved the proposed changes to the Act.
I strongly oppose this planned expansion of a cruel and unnecessary training facility. These proposed new licenses for dog train and trial facilities are a huge step backward for society. These facilities have no place in Ontario.

Cruel and inhumane treatment of Ontario’s wildlife!
I strongly oppose the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses, and the transfer of existing licenses, for dog train and trial areas in Ontario.

This proposal is simply downright cruel and inhumane to the wild animals.
What is to be gained from this concept? Please rethink this barbaric notion immediately.
Thank-you
Please do not reverse the decades-long ban on new penned hunting areas.
New penned hunting areas were banned in 1997 owing to its undeniable cruelty. No other province in Canada allows this brutal bloodsport and it’s illegal in most of the United States.

I do not support dog train and trail areas. Wild animals should not be used for this purpose. This would be very cruel and traumatic for the wild animals and is a huge step back. Wild animals should be left in the wild and not used in this manner.

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 that are subjected to various methods used to train dogs to hunt.
