RE: Dog hunting outlaws
Reswire: I am in a county just down the road from you.
My question is this. When you contacted the media did you state that you are having a problem with xyz hunt club in essex county or did you state that you are having a problem with hound hunters? BIG difference
Being respectful of property rights as a hunt club is not difficult. My club never goes on someone's property without first contacting the owner for permission,if we don't already have permission. Its not difficult. If a member of my club is seen by another member walking across someones field that we cannot hunt, They are called out on the radio in front of everyone, and made an example of.
We police our own. but it has to come from within each club.
I totally agree these bad apples within good clubs need to go. and the bad clubs just need to go all together.
You stated that you have allowed a hunt club to hunt your farm for several years. So I take it you are not opposed to Hound hunting generaly, Just the actions of this one club. Therefore you of all people should see that there are good and bad in everything.
I sincerely hope that if any of the media outlets you contacted takes you up on your offer, you make sure you get some footage of Good ethical law abiding hunt clubsalso... Not that that part would ever make it on the air.
As far as contactingPETA and HSUS... I won't even dignify that terrible mistake on your part with a comment.
Good luck and I hope get those "bad apples" thrown in the trash.
