Penned dog hunting is cruel and vicious, which is why no other province allows hunters to chase and kill terrified, caged animals with dogs. The caged animals run for their lives, but have nowhere to escape to. When they are caught, they are often maimed or killed by the dogs. Read more

This is horrific and so inhumane. And there is no excuse for this, as there are so many more affordable, safer, and humane ways to go about any training for any ‘hunting’, let alone animals in general. Please do not support this bill, nor continue to. It is disgusting, and so saddening. Read more

The practice of using innocent animals to train dogs to hunt is astonishingly cruel. To suggest that there should be more of these facilities is indicative of the sheer lack of humanity of the current provincial government. The only thing they care about is money and power. Read more

I find the thought of this proposal very distressing and disturbing. Why do we need to train dogs to hunt in the first place? If they’re a natural hunter they don’t require other animals to be artificially trapped for the dog to rip them apart - it’s deliberate cruelty and barbaric. Read more

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 who are subjected to various methods used to train dogs to hunt. Read more

I am totally against this proposal! A dog shouldn’t be trained to help the hunter to get a kill! The stress that it can cause the wildlife and the dogs themselves isn’t acceptable in today’s standards. Read more

The practice of trapping wildlife to use for dog training is cruel and absolutely unacceptable. Trapping any animal and inflicting harm on them when they are defenceless is cruel. I do not support this proposal.

This act appears to be out-dated and inhumane. Please consider animal rights and wildlife welfare along with any concerns about training dogs to violently attack any other animal - whether game or not.

This is inhumane. How can we call ourselves a developed society/ nation and consider this practice sanctioned?? It pains me to know that elected leaders would even try to introduce something like this proposal merely to add a few dollars to the bottom line. Read more

I urge you to NOT allow expansion of a cruel, dangerous and outdated undertaking. The term “Dog train and trial areas” is hiding the fact that this is one of the cruelest forms of killing wildlife. Read more

I strongly detest the provincial government’s proposal of an amendment to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act (FWCA) that will encourage animal cruelty through the use of hunting dogs. Please put a stop to this inhumane treatment of wildlife. Read more

This proposal is barbaric and goes in the opposite direction of how society should and quite frankly is moving. I could not be more opposed to this. How absolutely tragic this fate is for the poor bait animals. This encourages animal cruelty. Read more

To whom it may concern, I strongly oppose the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses, and the transfer of existing licenses, for dog train and trial areas in Ontario. Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals used to train dogs to hunt. Read more
