What a cruel and barbaric practice. No further facilities should be allowed to open to allow this training and hunting and the ones that are licensed already should have their licenses revoked.
This is barbaric and inhumane. The remaining 24 should already be closed.
Do not amend the act to include more torture.
What is wrong with Ontario?????
I am stunned to hear that the Ministry is even considering such a proposal as this 'penned hunting training for dogs'. In your literature it is stated that you protect natural resources and wildlife.

This proposal, if enacted, will allow cruelty to animals being taken out of their natural environment, held captive and terrorized by dogs.
I am not confident in the ability to monitor the current trap and train facilities and this could go so wrong in so many ways.

The idea to expand this licencing program is baffling and should never have been considered. These practises are inhumane and outdated, and frankly, it's shocking that this is being put forward.

This is a cruel draconian practice to train animals to torment, maul, endanger, and/or murder wild captive animals. What is more concerning is how utterly inhumane this practice is by referring to it as a sport. This is not sport.

The very thought of using animals who are trapped, enslaved and abused to slaughter animals who by all rights should be left alone to live in peace just proves the utter saddest and depravity of humanity!

I object to the use of wildlife to train hunting dogs. This seems cruel and inhumane and I hope to learn that an alternative solution comes into place.

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 just read this, and I'm sick to my stomach. What kind of barbaric backwards moving legislation is this? This is a sickening move towards animal cruelty, and would have horrific ends.

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.

Wildlife must be respected and treated accordingly. Cruelty to all animals is unacceptable and plucking wildlife from their natural habitat to train hunting dogs is no exception. Instead of opening new applications, the province’s existing 24 facilities need to be closed immediately.

I do not support 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.

Reverse the roll. Put hunters in the pen and let the dogs out. CRUEL, HORRIFIC, DISGUSTING, REPREHENSIBLE, SHAMEFUL
Why do hunters have to kill for sport? What satisfaction ethey get?

My God, enough is enough. Having dogs tearing apart other animals, this is akin to dog fighting rings, cock fighting establishments, bear baiting circles, all dirty and cruel and drawing the worst humans.
Says a lot about our bloody government doesn’t it!

This is simply barbaric. Wild life is loosing living space as it is. What is it, Kill more wildlife so more humans can take over. Some people are already barbaric when it comes to killing animals, purely for joy. DON'T ALLOW THIS
