An animal advocacy group is calling for dog hunting enclosures to be banned in Ontario, arguing that an investigation found hunters allegedly participating in 'cruel' practices.
, a non-profit organization that lobbies for stronger animal protection laws, began their own investigation into these enclosures in the spring. One of their members went undercover to one of the train-and-trial areas in eastern Ontario and witnessed a competitive event in which multiple hunting dogs were set loose on coyotes in hopes of winning prizes.
That same participant can be heard on camera saying numerous coyotes are killed a week, and that even more wildlife in the area is injured. The letter says that while they would ordinarily recommend alternatives, such as more robust licensing and oversight, this would not address the psychological harm caused to wildlife or the transport of animals to the enclosure.
“We encourage anyone with any information to report it to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry tip line or their local district office.”that any legislation governing these training facilities are largely unenforceable. They reported hunters catching coyotes daily, and many of them were killed.Under the new legislation, the Progressive Conservatives will repeal the freeze on new licences and set a one-time 90-day window in which new applicants can submit their requests.
“Proper use of TTAs is a responsible way to train dogs to ethically pursue legal game in fair chase environments,” they said. “A true representation of a hunter is someone who shows respect towards all forms of life and complies with regulations governing their activities.”, meanwhile, said they were"deeply disappointed to see the highly edited video released by Animal Justice."
