The organizers know this is a barbaric and unacceptable practice. These facilities should be illegal. This is animal cruelty plain and simple. Disgusting that anyone would consider this a 'sport'. Individuals practicing animal abuse would be rightfully charged and prosecuted for willful animal cruelty. These facilities must not be allowed to exist and / or expand.
Society should do everything possible to protect wild animals, they have a place within the ecosystem and should never be subjected to this kind of torture, for the amusement of humans. Guard animals can be trained to chase coyotes or rabbits away from livestock and crops without resorting to torture of animals, whether wild 'caught' or raised for this purpose (a whole other area of extreme animal torture).
Naturalist experts and environmental diversity experts should be consulted and they would explain why this practice is as outdated as dog fighting or bull running and should be banned.
Society needs to evolve to be more compassionate and accepting of the rich diversity of all ecosystems. Animal torture and abuse for human pleasure must be relegated to the distant past, and laws should reflect this.
