It involves trapping wild coyotes, foxes, and rabbits and putting them in enclosures so that dogs can chase and attack them, day after day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New licenses for penned dog hunting facilities were banned in 1997 but 24 of these facilities are still operating in Ontario. Instead of shutting them down, the Ford government is reopening licensing so more people can set their dogs on wild animals in cages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything about penned dog hunting is cruel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Undercover conservation authorities report that coyotes and other animals are caught with traps that can break their legs. Either that or they are chased to exhaustion as hunters keep switching out fresh dogs to keep up the pursuit. If they survive this, they are then stuffed into dog crates and held in barns before being sold to the penned hunting facilities just to be hunted again and again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No wonder penned dog hunting doesn\u2019t happen in any other province. A previous PC government even started phasing it out in Ontario, so why does the current one want to bring it back?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many readers will feel as sickened as I do by this cruelty and suffering of our wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;What sort of people do we have running this province?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lesley Hastie,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Town of Huntsville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This latest Ontario news is keeping me awake at night.&nbsp;&nbsp; Penned dog hunting is being increased, but only in Ontario.
