RE: HOG DOGS PETITION-HELP SAVE THEM FROM BEING PUT TO SLEEP
Candy, I searched for several hours last night in an attempt to find a direct link to the banning of and/or euthanasia of hunting dogs in AZ. I came up with nothing....with the exception that AZ allows hunting dogs to be used on the majority of their "big game". If AZ made it law for no dog hunting allowed...outfitters would be losing alot of denaro in their pockets as well would the state be losing revenue.
In addition when I entered key words "Hog Dogs" there was alot of material regarding what is called "Hog Dog Rodeos" in AZ and many other Western and Southern states, which is illegal and very much akin to dog fighting, cock fighting for sport. Where dogs bred/or not for hog hunting are put into an enclosure with a hog that has had its tusks removed....several dogs against a boar pic with no tusks???? There have been dogs taken from these events and euthanized with perhaps good reason. Once when certain breeds of dogs have killed it is very difficult to rehab them and then adopt them out to a "family home enviroment".
With all due respect can you post links to the dogs you are referring to, or any other link that would be helpful?
Thanks in advance....
Candy, You have my apologies had I just read the last part of one of the emails you sent me I would have seen the link with further information.
Kudos to you and the folks at K9rescue! Keep up the good work!
