They had it right in 1997. It’s time to phase these facilities out. Go forward. Not in reverse. We are in a time in which we can not proceed with treating the natural world with wanton ignorance. Nor can we hold onto barbaric practices for the sake of custom or tradition. Hunting with dogs has no place in a progressive civilization. It is dangerous for the dogs and creates unnecessary and cruel stress on the targeted animal as well as non-targeted species. I’m not anti-hunting but I am against doing it cruelly. This is sport: not hunting.We don’t need facilities for training these practices. If we’re talking about conservation and wildlife management, let’s talk about it in a way that respects the natural world and not in a way that takes us back decades of work in management and educated cohabitation.
