I ve been a hunter since childhood. I grew up with it.
There is nothing sporting about dog trail runs. Absolutely none. It’s perverse and cruel, and anyone who says it’s not is out of touch with natural world.
I oppose this for following reasons:
1) There is no reason to chase down cottontails and hares with dogs, it makes the meat rotten.
2) Hunt fur bearing animals like rest of ethical hunters with predator calls and stalking. Doing this with dogs is basically a blood sport.
3) You do not need live animals to maintain the instinct of a breed of dog. This is proven with lure coursing with sight hounds.
The ministry says it will install standards for captive animals and records to be kept in these facilities . I have zero faith that these facilities will be properly maintained nor do I have faith in our government to ensure it is.
