I also just read a report that in the past 5 months, In this county, over $52,000 worth of property has been stolen along with over 150 guns. This has been taken place in the farming and ranching lands. Starting to see the picture here.
im not aware of any areas in va having such problems as that.even hardend hound hunting oponents have stated the posibilities of such problems but havent brought forth any fact that such activities are happening.
i also think your a little off comparing your problems to ours,your talking wild unwanted dogs to hunting dogs, apples to oranges,there is a HUGE DIFFRENCE in shooting a wild dog out for blood and shooting a hunting dog out of spite
