Dog hunting
December 7, 2008
Let me see the pro-dog hunters now that the season is in full swing. I have over 50 pictures of hunting dogs unfed left in the woods for weeks, not cared for at all. One hunter who came to pick up his dog said if they are hungry they hunt better.
Pro football player Michael Vick is serving time in jail for just the same treatment of dogs or worse. Maybe these hunters need to be punished the same way.
Virginia needs to change dog-hunting laws. Other states have seen that it is good for the sport.
Maybe dog hunters then will learn how to hunt instead of running the deer down like a trapped victim.
