Comment
Keeping wildlife captive for the sole purpose of allowing dogs to track and chase is inhumane. The fact there are sufficicient numbers of some species is irrelevant. No animal should have to spend its life being terrorized for the entertainment of hunters. While I do not oppose hunting for food, I do not feel that hunting dog training facilities that rely on live wild animals to chase is acceptable. Doubtless, numerous animals will be injured or killed, even if inadvertently.
I had hoped that we were more civilized than that. Such training facilities are outdated and should not continue to operate let alone increase in number.
I expect that such training facilities are expensive and used by sport hunters with money rather than those who hunt for food. Please phase out these facilities.
