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

This is a huge step backwards in our efforts in conservation! This is a cruel process that encourages acts of cruelty which causes stress and suffering to the penned animals. All such licenses and associated practices should be discontinued, not expanded. I firmly reject this proposal.

This is a barbaric and cruel practice and needs to be eradicated. If there are issues with 'underground' facilities then step up enforcement. This is animal abuse and it is appalling and should not be legitimized or condoned on Ontario.

Society had moved past archaic and inhumane practices such as this. Just because a practice has been done in the past does not mean the practice should continue without changes. Dogs do not have to hunt animals for the sake of amusement for humans. It teaches dogs to be predators vs companions. Read more

It is cruel to take wildlife and hold them captive for the purpose of training hunting dogs and holding competitions. We should not be looking to extend licensing and opening new facilities but instead halting such cruelty.

I am strongly opposed to this proposed amendment option. As a rural Ontario citizen and dog owner, I appreciate the desire to have these 24 licensed training facilities across Ontario but as a society we should not be encouraging expansion. Read more

This should not pass and the existing places should be closed asap. Not 1 single animal needs to be mauled to death let alone for sport...this is insane that these exist and you want to open more??? Close the existing ones and do not ever allow these again! Read more

Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters. It’s especially cruel to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as pawns for hunters to train dogs and hold competitions.

I totally do not agree with this proposal to increase the number of training areas for dogs in Ontario, firstly because wild animals are trapped and harassed, and probably hurt, when they are already stressed by human invasion and development in their habitats. Read more

Don't do this. There is enough hunting and killing without the government getting more involved allowing this supposed controlled environment. Leave nature alone. I have to labs who love to hunt and they dont need any help or practice from the government.
