This is animal exploitation…

This is animal exploitation and cruelty, and there is no reason for us to facilitate this inhumane practice. There are other ways to train hunting dogs for competitions that do not require these barbaric practices. The level of stress you would be inflicting on these wild animals is incredibly inhumane. We are supposed to be moving forward in animal rights, so to reinstitute something that was phased out over 25 years is a massive step backwards. I implore you to think of those animals whose lives would be horrific if this practice is expanded.
