This is a terrible practice. I’m a farmer and we sometimes have coyotes coming in and killing the lambs. This rarely happens but we get dogs to protect our sheep. I spoke at length about this with my neighbours and this "sport" is not something that we support. We believe this "sport" should be banned, not allowed to expand.

This only benefits a fraction of the population at the expense of wildlife. Foxes and rabbits can be properly hunted without being penned in an enclosure. People can train their dogs without these facilities.
