This proposal is absolutely…

This proposal is absolutely sickening. I am imagining how the coyotes, foxes and rabbits are feeling when they are being chased. This is not a “sport” in any way, shape or form. I cannot believe that this is being given any consideration. Lame excuse that it will go underground if not sanctioned. Enforce the law. Totally out of touch with where the majority of the population is at with regards to respect for animals and ALL sentient beings. More and more people are choosing a vegetarian diet out of respect for the well being of animals among other reasons. I am a dog lover and have always had dogs. I would never have my dog chase animals in an enclosure for “exercise” as is cited as one of the reasons for this proposal. This is animal cruelty. Please don’t try to sell it as anything else. Animal cruelty is a precursor to other types of violence. Time to take an animal-centric approach and protect animals. We need more animal protection legislation. Not legislation to increase this bloodsport. Please do not implement this proposal.
