I see absolutely NO reason a dog should be used for hunting as that gives a very unfair advantage over the very life that animals in the wild have a right to have!
I can't believe that any human believes it is okay to trap wildlife to be hunted, maimed, tortured and other barbaric infliction of pain just to train these dogs to hunt. If a dog is truly a hunting dog they would have that instinct on their own.
What is even worse is allowing competitions of this to happen!!! What purpose is there to that other than a human 'earning bragging rights'. Taking a life no matter what type of life it is NOT a source of amusement to be awarded.
Where is your empathy? Please DO NOT pass any new licenses or transfer allowances to new owner, we need to allow these kind of facilities to become something that is no longer acceptable. If training the dogs are so important, let human volunteers be the bait not innocent, defenseless animals that are trapped and held captive.
