I am in 100% support for the approval of allowing a period for new train and trial areas being established. The creation of more train and trial areas allows those in the sport more places to run hounds, which in turn allows for more down times in pens, which means less stress on game. In short, the more places to run, the less running in the same place consistently. Further, train and trial areas allow increased safety for hounds and participants. The sport of beagling has been around since the 40's if not earlier and it will continue. Do we not want those in it and their hounds to be as safe as possible? How does standing in the way of that help anyone? As for the game; I have seen the care that is taken to ensure the game are respected and taken care of; strict down times for running, feeding, not overpopulating a pen, addressing flea etc. There is no reason to stand in the way of a proposal to have more pens created when standing in the way risks not increasing safety for humans and hounds, and does not lead to decreasing stress on game. The sport WILL continue. Given that, why would anyone not want to support something that would increase safety and decrease stress on game?
