We absolutely do not need to go back to this inhumane and barbaric practice. What is going on with this province? It feels like we are going back in time. Doug Ford and his people need to stop trying to line their pockets by bowing down to what their rich overseers want them to do.

I am a resident of Hamilton Ontario for the past 24 years. I am absolutely against the proposed practice of training dogs on animals in penned in areas and find the mere thought cruel and appalling. NN

This is shocking and disgusting. Shameful for a province that prides itself on its natural environment to support such a cruel practice targeting our local wildlife.
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. Hunting competitions are completely archaic and this is incredibly cruel to wildlife.

Penned dog hunting facilities are cruel to the wild animals that are subjected to various methods used to train dogs to hunt.

I think this practice is needlessly cruel and the government is going in the wrong direction on this. Hunting a captive animal is ethically unsound and these areas should be eliminated, not expanded.
I strongly oppose the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses and the transfer of licenses for dog train and trial areas in Ontario.

I object to this proposal as there is no analysis or justification provided. On the face of it, there is no justification for this reversal of long-standing policy beyond some self-interested people requesting it.

I’m really surprised that this kind of a terrible cruelty to animals can even come as a proposal from The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.

I can't believe our government is sanctioning this kind of animal abuse. There are humane ways to teach dogs how to track and hunt without torturing other animals. And you are proposing breeding animals just so they can be abused in this way.

This is clearly an inhumane and unethical practice, an absolute waste of provincial politics when there are actual, neglected issues in this province. Pure corruption for the benefit of Doug Ford's rich friends who like dog hunting. Truly a public embarrassment.
This government is hellbent on turning back the clock on modern policies. If Doug Ford is concerned with illicit activities being conducted "underground" then please address issues regarding safe access to drugs, sex work, etc. not allowing vicious bloodsport.
