I do not support the establishment of more train and trail areas. I believe the practice should be phased out (as was the intention in 1997 when it was declared no new license should be issued). I feel the practice is cruel and poses no real benefit.

As a white tail deer hunter myself I would like to register my opposition to this proposal. I abhor the practice of trapping animals for the purpose of keeping them in captivity as prey for training dogs. Read more

This is a cruel, inhumane practice and should not be allowed. This should be phased out rather than promoted. I would be embarrassed to live in a province that allows this to happen. Please do not approve this proposal.

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. Read more

Why would we want to continue this barbaric process when it's already phasing out? "Underground" activity is going to happen regardless of it being legal or not, and is not a good reason to re-introduce this unethical form of "hunting". To be completely honest, it's cheating. Read more

Thank you for the opportunity to comment. I'm not in favor of using wild animals to train dogs. I find even the idea of this horrible and inhumane . It I hope the Ministry revokes the application and/or licensing

It seems as though we are moving in the wrong direction if "train and trial areas were last approved to be established in 1997 and were intended to be phased-out over time." Now, in 2023 we are not only considering allowing anyone who wants to apply for a license to submit for approval within a 90 d Read more

This is an absolutely atrocious idea. How sick and twisted do you have to be to use live animals as bait for training dogs. This serves no purpose whatsoever. It's complete madness that it's even being considered at all.
