Our family is, deeply, disturbed by the dangerous, and, unethical, nature of this proposal! No other Canadian province permits, penned, dog hunting! These facilities have no place in Ontario! You MUST abandon this cruel and inhumane proposal! Read more

Are you people this stupid in this day and age to actually use wild animals to train your police dogs. FUCK YOU, how about we use people in police force as “animals”? Maybe we should start harassing police in the streets and their homes? And government officials who think this shit up. Read more

I was shocked to hear that these train and trial facilities even existed and to think that the govt. is thinking of authorizing licences for more of these centres is appalling. 24 train and trial centres are already 24 TOO many. Read more

This is absolutely disgusting that our police and government would use wild animals to train police dogs. We are going backwards in society and thanks to this corrupt and moronic government this is what happens. What’s next using the homeless for police training?

I am horrified that this proposal is even being considered. Penn Hunting is not only incredibly cruel to these helpless animals, it is dangerous to humanity in that it normalizes violence. Please do not allow this!

This proposal for the issuance of licenses for new dog train and trials and the transferring of licenses to even be thought of is sickening. Who would even think of such an disgusting thing that would be of such harm and cruelty to a living animal. Read more

The practice of training dogs by providing animals trapped for the purpose of using them for live bait is absolutely inhumane by any standards. The fact that there is no possibility of escape from the training area makes this proposal even more brutal and barbaric. Read more

I am totally opposed to reversing the ban on penned hunting and training trials. This is a very cruel practice. Not only should no new licenses for this practice be approved, but the current 24 licenses should be revoked. Read more

The practice of using rabbits, foxes and coyotes (among other animals) to 'train' dogs terrorizes the wildlife. This means that their quality of life is negatively impacted as is their survival and ability to engage in natural behaviours. Read more

I have just read the proposal in it’s entirety and I am appalled that this proposal even exists. While I am not an active animal activist per se, this proposal is barbaric and instead of issuing any new licenses for more facilities, the existing facilities should be closed. Read more

This is abhorrent. The very fact that these places still exist is bad enough, but to allow more is simply unconscionable. This is government sanctioned animal cruelty. There is absolutely no need for these facilities to exist at all, let alone have more of them. Read more

I was honestly, truly horrified when I saw a video recently of what the "sport" of penned hunting entails. I am truly in disbelief that there are still individuals who are trying to advocate for cruel and barbaric ways of killing animals for "entertainment". Read more

I am appalled that this practice even exists! How is it not considered cruelty to animals? Please put an end to using live animals as bait. What kind of a person would deliberately inflict cruelty and stress upon an innocent life and why does the Ontario Government encourage them?

It is with great sadness and regret that I am providing feedback on 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. Read more

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. Read more

I think that allowing dogs to find and kill wild animals by confining these wild animals to a cage is a barbaric practice. If you’re going to make this proposal, why is the end product not included in the summary? Actually say what happens to these wild animals. Read more

I was upset and disgusted to read that the province is even considering a proposal to issue new licenses for "dog train and trial areas." The term sounds so innocuous -- but when you understand that it means using captive wild animals as bait to train hunting dogs, the inherent cruelty becomes obvio Read more
