I have a concern about the treatment and protection of wildlife as part of these dog training trials.
Who will ensure the safety and humane treatment of these vulnerable animals.
This extremely inhumane practice of animal bloodshed is similar to dog and rooster fighting, so why is it legal for wildlife? I implore you to reconsider the continued licensure and expansion of penned dog hunting in Ontario.

These changes are barbaric. Do not do this. You know that it will be abused and animals will suffer. Next will be dog fights and cock fights. Unecessary. Hunters do not need dogs trained in killing. Look to indigenous groups on how to hunt with or without dogs.
Penned dog hunting is not akin to hunting for sport - it is barbaric and inhumane. Acts of humanity, like standing against the further licensing and support of this cruel practice, is what will be respected and remembered.

I am fundamentally opposed to this inhumane practice. It should be STOPPED not increased.
Why are you at war with the natural world, Mr Ford and Mr Puccini?
This is disgusting. It's about time to change such a barbaric practice. How are you gonna steal victims from the wild, cage them and hand them over to be murdered? For just PRACTICE?

This is literally the worst ammendment ever. How can you allow such an archaic and cruel practice? Leave the wild animals alone and stop allowing people to train their dogs to hunt in the first place.
This is completely barbaric and cruel. Please use some common sense. I can’t believe we are still resorting to these kinds of practice in this day and age. It’s sickening.
This is atrocious and cruel. Why are we allowing people to train hunting dogs by trapping animals in pens for them to practice on. I'm appalled and do no support issuing new licences for this.
Please do not allow such actions. We understand the need to train dogs, they can be trained with the scent or things that mimic hares and other hunt creatures. No need to use an actual animal to train just to kill or maim it.

The activities carried out in these areas sound as barbaric as those carried out in the roman Colosseum or during any other rightfully banned bloodsport (bear baiting comes to mind).

This proposal seems very cruel to wildlife as not only will they be trapped, they will be tortured and killed. Hunting is acceptable when the animal killed is being eaten, not for pleasure. Given foxes and coyotes are not eaten, the killing appears to be for pleasure.

This is completely unacceptable and cruel to the wildlife that will be affected. Also who is going to keep people accountable towards the "hunting practice" intent? People could start trapping wild animals and doing inhumane things to them under the guise of hunting dog practice.
