Of all the issues the Ontario government could be focusing on this seems extremely unimportant and benefits a very small number of people while terrorizing more poor animals. Let’s focus on the bigger issues in Canada and not hunt down more wildlife for fun. Read more

This is so disgusting and should not even be up for consideration- there are other ways to train without the use of live defenceless animals - I’m so ashamed to be an Ontarian/Canadian to think this is even up for debate!

As a dog owner, I understand the joy of participating in dog sports and the training required to excel in a sport. However I don’t agree with doing it at the expense of the welfare of wild animals. Read more

This seems like it would lead to a lot of unnecessary stress for the captive animals, who, first of all, are not domesticated and therefore not suited to live in ad hoc enclosures, but secondly, the stress on those wild animals being used as prey is unconscionable. Read more

I really disagree with this practice and using animals as a testing ground for slaughter. This is not a humane solution to wildlife control for the dogs or wildlife. Please reconsider and explore other options

I am highly disturbed by this proposed amendment. To put a wild animals through undue stress and the potential harm of being trapped for “sport” training shows a complete disregard for wildlife and falls under cruel and unusual punishment due to the actions humans. Read more

Sorry but I really don’t think this is a good idea to do this as you have to put human nature into perspective, people will take this and go crazy, please rethink this. Have a great day

Hunting pens are inhumane and unethical. Removing wildlife from their homes and subjecting them to cruelty, abuse, and suffering through the training and trialing of hunting dogs is an archaic practice. I firmly reject this proposal to allow new licenses for these train and trial areas in Ontario.

I am appalled that this is happening in 2023. It was outlawed in 1997 for good reason. This practice is barbaric, cruel, and unnecessary. Surely in 2023 we have the means to teach dogs how to hunt without pens that animals cannot get out of. Read more
