I know that in rural areas, hunting dogs are used to track coyotes. I have never heard of them being used to hunt 'nuisance' bunnies or foxes.
To use these captive animals to 'train' hunting dogs is barbaric. Similar to the fox hunt in the U.K. it just ends in death for the 'captive'animal. It doesn't even have a chance of survival being in an enclosed area.
I have lived across the road from hunting dog owners. The dogs are kept in cramped surroundings indoors, only ever let out occasionally if needed for hunting. A miserable existence for all animals involved.
End this practise now.
