Re: Letter to the editor, Province sanctions animal torture with penned dog hunting, July 6, 2023.

Hello, to whom it may concern and my local MP and MPP.

Please stop the practice of penned dog hunting NOW!

I am an animal lover and think this is disgusting. We elected these people to represent the whole community and country and they allowed this to continue and open it up to others to continue this practice and for someone to make money off of this practice, it’s very disgusting and harms people especially people who are animal lovers and people who have mental stress over this issue.

I am sure if you ask any person or animal owner or someone who has a rational mind, they would say this is disgusting.

We stopped this practice many years ago in 1977 and now we’re allowing it again, causing harm to animals meant to stay in the wild and have a life.

Please, if any of you have a heart, join in on banning this practice NOW. It’s not even a question of having a debate over this, it’s inhumane and heartless.
