This UTTERLY DISGUSTING and a BETRAYAL of what we expect from governmental agencies. This is unacceptable, inhumane, horrific in fact, and not the kind of activity I support in any way.

The use of penned animals in this way is a ridiculous and inhumane proposal. It puts animals at an unfair disadvantage and creates hazards for dogs as well. The people expect better and more ethical behavior towards wildlife from our government.
Once again the ONTARIO GOVERNMENT is shoking me. This emend is cruel, archaic, an imense regression in terms of animal rights. This sport is elitist, violent,promotes the use of arms, completely the opposite of what our society needs.

This has to be to accommodate stupid lazy hunters. Any real hunter can train a dog to a scent trail by dragging a pelt. This is such a stupid modification it makes one think it is a decoy issue to distract people from seeing what our buddy the premier is really up to.
I am commenting to oppose this proposal on the basis of several factors after careful consideration of both perspectives. In the wild, there are divisions of predator versus prey, and yes, that can be described as the circle of life.

I cannot believe you are seriously considering supporting this barbaric practice. I pay a lot of money in taxes and I will consider leaving this province if things don't change here. No health care and a steady decline in quality of life.

This amendment is deplorable. This is cruelty to wildlife for “sport”. What are the greater impacts of allowing this to happen? How is this being monitored to ensure the best care is being provided for all animals involved?
To trap and torture wildlife is absolutely disgusting.
This is horrible! I do not support this!!! We are taking this land from the animals! Where else are they to go??? I do not support this change as a Canadian!!!!!! NO!
I do not agree with that proposal. This is specifically torture to the wildlife
We do not need more hunting practice so we do not need any hunting dog. We are not in the 19th century playing “chasse a cours”

This proposal for new licenses for captive animals to be killed by hunting dogs is truly deplorable. I cannot believe that Conservative government are even entertaining this idea, when they banned this in 1997, and it is still continuing today.

This proposal is ludicrous and who even started this discussion. I live in a family of hunters. I have no issues with responsible and respectful hunting. Opening this up further just allows those who are not so respectful to apply for a license.

This is an inhumane practice. We live in 2023 and these practices should be illegal. There is no need to have these kinds of facilities. Dogs can learn to hunt out in the wild if they need to. Absolutely unnecessary and cruel for the animals. Shame on the government.
These “train and trial” areas were to be phased out starting in 1997. It seems difficult to justify this new proposal and expand the practice 26 years later, when wildlife populations continue to decline.
This is absolutely disgusting - a true act of animal cruelty. Could you imagine anyone trapping your dog in a cage to be used as kill for hunting practice? Surely not. So why is it okay for other animals to be treated so? This is shameful. Please do not allow this amendment to pass.
In the year 2023 why would this ridiculous sport be allowed...think for a moment the absolute fear that poor animal will suffer when be chased for no good reason...the cruelty to an animal just bc it is a wild one is never justified..let the damn hunters run through the woods themselves and have the
