As a veterinarian I strongly object to this proposal. The snaring of wildlife is already carried out in an unregulated fashion and in the Ottawa region is often accompanied by the use of dogs to locate and kill snared coyotes.
I am strongly opposed to the continued trapping of wildlife and oppose any amendments that allow for coyotes to be more easily trapped or hunted.

Please do not relax conservation and protection efforts. This is a slippery slope and one that could be used as precedent to continue the degradation of these protections for wildlife.

As someone who lives next to a field with a coyote family, I understand the unique challenges that comes with cohabiting with canids. But learning to coexist is possible and should be the goal for everyone living in coyote country in Ontario.

These unethical & inhumane RCR's (snares) are indiscriminate, garage-made (anyone can make one) devices that maim and torture animals, usually causing severe suffering before death. They should not be allowed!!

If we can not do away with the cable restraints altogether we need to at least regulate them so that animals aren’t subjected to maiming and torturing home made relaxing cable devices.
It is time to stop barbaric practices and stop ALL forms of trapping and snaring of wildlife, including wolves and coyotes.
Modern day survival does not depend upon trapping and outdated practices. Trophy hunting needs to be banned!

I am hoping that proper thought can be put into the changes being proposed and you folllow the recommendations made by Coyote Watch Canada, who promotes coexistance and humane treatment of all animals, not just not-target and domestic animals.
As a Canadian, I strongly disagree with the use of traps and snares on our wildlife. These snares, like traps, are inhumane and torture our wildlife. I'm afraid I have to disagree with these proposed changes, and I believe these changes are being made at the request of very few Canadians.

Coyotes and wolves are unfairly targeted in this country for trapping and killing. Interfering with the food chain only serves to create imbalances in nature and to give unfair advantages to unscrupulous hunters.

If you don't want to catch the wrong animal, then just outlaw trapping altogether. It is barbaric. Outlawing all traps will stop trappers from CONSTANTLY trespassing on my land with their dogs, and the cruel torture experienced by target animals.
I vehemently oppose the proposed update to this regulation on wildlife trapping. It’s 2024, we absolutely should not be loosening the rules to further allow cruelty and suffering of any other species.

There must be more restraints against hunters, while the government has chosen to be soft when it comes to hunters and the regulations for them, at some point, the government has to realize it has the power to protect the land and the animals that reside here as equally as we humans do.

Cable restraints have been proven to be cruel devices that should not be used for trapping or any other purpose. As stewards of Ontario Wildlife, the MNR should be against this practice.
