A low Blow to hunting with Hounds

I have been watching how this Bill 1221 in California has been slowly turning into a name calling and finger pointing session. I find that there are a lot of lies being said about hound hunting and the people behind this are completely uneducated in the field of hunting period. We are being called drug dealers, black market suppliers and even cub and kitten snatchers. I find this very upsetting. How could we be those things and barely be able to pay our bills. Most of the hunters I know are what I call "dog poor" meaning we love our dogs so much that when they get old we retire them to the comforts of indoor living and hanging on the couch at night watching television. While we go out and get another young dog(s) to work and train in the hopes that they pick up the same traits that the retired senior already knew. Or we bred our best dog to the best we could find and picked a puppy in the hopes that they turn out just like their parents. Training and working a hunting dog, is a tricky thing. I have not mastered it, but I hope to be able to see my dogs working a track or a tree in splendid form.

If you would like to help please call these people and let them know that there are people out there who believe in us.
