Members of the Ontario Government, I think that this proposal enhances animal cruelty and does not consider that the public no longer supports cruelty against animals. Killing for fun should and must never be an activity that the government promotes. Read more

I find it appalling that an agency of Ontario is party to such barbarism. If anything more is necessary to demonstrate the unfitness of the Ford government to manage the affairs of this province, this is surely it.

I oppose this vehemently. Selling licenses to kill someone is barbaric and sadistic. Imagine if someone paid to be allowed to enter your home and kill you. This is the plot of a horror movie, but you somehow think this is ‘fun.’

Please do not issue new licenses or transfer the existing ones. This practice should be banned under laws that prohibit cruelty towards animals. In these “training facilities” wildlife is captured and forced to endure a life of constant terror. Read more

This is inhumane and barbaric. There is absolutely no need to do this. Why are we moving backwards instead of forward. Dogs can learn to hunt without penning up live animals and torturing them to death. How is this any different than penning up dogs and allowing them to fight and kill each other. Read more

Im not sure whos idea this was, especially given that in the past there was a concensus to move away from such barbaric practices. Coyotes are part of the balance of nature. They keep wild populations in check, consume dead carcasses of animals that have perished. They are family oriented. Read more

Please do not allow canned hunting. It is disgusting and cruel to set dogs on wild life to train them to kill. It is barbaric and unheard of in this day and age to think it’s ok to torture a wild animal this way; unable to defend itself while being ripped to shreds.

I oppose this bill. I believe this is a cowardly act that is to be cruelly inflicted on coyotes. I believe there needs to be respect for this resourceful wild animal. This is a disgusting and ill thought out solution to train domestic canines. Read more

No. Continue the phase out. This practice is out dated and barbaric. Senseless cruelty and not essential. This is an area of practice that should be allowed to die out and not rejuvenated and allowed to grow.

NO. This proposed amendment is backwards and shocking. It is contrary to the public interest. It is contrary to the well being of Ontario’s wildlife. The limitations on licensing were introduced for good reason — this practice is barbaric. Read more

Hello, I oppose the use of new dog train and trial areas and the renewal of licenses. There are ways to train dogs that don’t include the harming of innocent wild animals that are taken from their homes and forced into tortuous environments to live lives of fear. Read more
