They had it right in 1997. It’s time to phase these facilities out. Go forward. Not in reverse. We are in a time in which we can not proceed with treating the natural world with wanton ignorance. Nor can we hold onto barbaric practices for the sake of custom or tradition.

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.

This has got to be one of the most cruel things I've heard of!!!! If you're a hunter you shoot to kill, not injure so your dogs can rip into them. It's hard to believe any government could condone this type of cruelty to the prey and the attacking dogs.
This is an insanely cruel sport. Shutting a coyote in a fenced area so dogs can chase it down is barbaric. this is something they did in the 1800's as the article states. We are in 2023. there is a reason why this kind of event causes public outrage now.

I ask the Ministry of Natural Resources to reject the proposal to allow new licenses and the transfer of licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario. I further ask that the current "grandfathered" train and trial areas be closed immediately.

Ontario dog lovers were told by Ford he would not be removing the breed ban and putting it in a omni bill. Then Ford rejected it. Advocates could NOT figure out the reason why. We had the science and believed their support to allow people to own a dog of THEIR choice was real.

This is cruel and unfair to the captive animal. I am so sick of man interfering with nature. Man will not be happy until every creature that is in its way is irradicated or used for sport. As a taxpaying citizen I am expressing my outrage.
Hunting and killing wildlife in an enclosed pen is an absolutely ghastly and cruel form of entertainment, and I WHOLEHEARTEDLY OPPOSE THE PROPOSAL FROM THE MINISTRY OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND FORESTRY TO ALLOW NEW LICENSES AND THE TRANSFER OF LICENSES FOR 'TRAIN AND TRIAL' PENS IN ONTARIO.

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.

Are you kidding me? How pathetic can Ontario be to even consider issuing new dog train and trial areas. This practice should be totally banned including shutting down any existing dog train and trial facilities.

It is my opinion that wildlife should not be harassed by dogs- in terms of farmers protecting livestock the livestock protection dogs do an amazing job of keeping livestock safe
This is horrific and barbaric. How in 2023 where there is so much scientific evidence as to the importance of canids to ecosystem balance and the health of the environment for all species including humans, is this even being considered?

I can not believe in 2023 you are even considering making these changes. I am not a supporter of PETA, but this change you are proposing makes me reconsider, maybe we do need radical nut jobs protecting animals from cruel and inhumane practices.

I live near these areas. I oppose this strongly. Why on earth would we want to turn the clock backwards and pretend we’re living in a medieval state?
This is politics run amok.
