These facilities should be…

These facilities should be illegal and stay illegal, indefinitely. This is animal cruelty, plain and simple. It is disgusting that anyone would consider this a 'sport'. Citizens cannot torture and kill a rabbit or coyote on their property without animal cruelty charges so why are these facilities allowed to exist and possibly expand?

Society should do everything possible to protect wild animals; they have a place within the ecosystem and should never be subjected to torture for the amusement of humans. If a farmer wants their dog to chase coyotes or rabbits away from crops, the dogs can be trained without resorting to torture of animals, whether wild 'caught' or raised for this purposed (a whole other area of extreme animal torture and exploitation).

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experts and environmental diversity experts should be consulted and they would explain why this practice is as outdated as dog fighting or bull running and should be banned.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 our ecosystems and relegate the torture and exploitation of animals for human pleasure in the distant past. We are better than this and our laws should reflect this.
