I believe hunting wild animals with dogs doing the killing is barbaric and totally out of touch with modern day thinking on wildlife management. Britain banned the fox hunt many years ago.

There has been a huge increase in dog ownership in the past decade or so, as communities become more densely populated with humans. Breeding and training these killing machine dogs promotes violence as a sporting activity and risks the introduction of these breeds into human settlement areas. What kind of person wants to see their dog tear apart a captive wild animal?

I remind you of a teenage boy losing his lip to a vicious of attack in a Toronto schoolyard a few days ago.

Next we’ll be reintroducing recreational cock fighting. Pandering to individuals who get a thrill from violent attacks. Very irresponsible.
