I want people to understand that my views are simple. I don't care what people do on their own property, or what is legally done on public property. If you want to run dogs, then do so with permission.
If a person runs dogs, can they please explain to me how they are hunting? I mean, are they actually hunting the animal? No, the dogs are. Are they hunting where the animals actually are? Maybe, but it is really hard to do when driving across a pasture or quickly down a road. As I have stated before, I have never hunted with a dog, (other than a coon,rabbits or birds). I don't see how animals such as coyotes, lions, bear or deer can be sportingly hunted using dogs.
I was exposed to using dogs for lions out in Arizona. I had never thought about doing it this way. Again, I have never participated in hunting of these types of animals this way. While I can rationalize lion hunting with dogs as nothing more than a big coon, I don't think my conscious would allow it for me.
Remember, their are vast differences in way of life between the states, and backgrounds.
