Its sad that the boys dog got shot. Its also sad that people take the piss poor attitude that "Chit happens" when you are nuisance and a burden on other people's enjoyment of their own land. If you don't care that you are screwing up other people, don't expect them to care if they screw your day up.

The bottom line is that you don't have a right to keep an animal in such a way that it is a nuisance to others and an infringement upon their enjoyment of their property.

It is legal for a dog to be shot by it's owner, I doubt the VHDA will want this to change.

that wont get changed because their too many big money breeders in northern va,that breed fluffy foo-foo dogs that do it 10x more than any hound owner just because it dont have the right color fur,wrong color eyes or its a runt,or it just aint oh so perfect,start accusing AKC breeders that do it on a weekly basis.

why would the vhda take a position at all on this???????
you missed my point and i didnt even think about puppy mills,the point is mills and private breeders shoot/put down WAY far more dogs than any hound hunter, ,money???????they cant sell a pup if it has poor conformation,wrong color,or what ever may be wrong with the dog.older brood female past her prime,only putting out 3 or 4 pups is no longer a money maker....pow....eliminated,white german shepard....pow....not reconized as a correct color. husky without blue eyes.....pow.dude i can go on and on.if you wanna jump on the hsus band wagon go preach to people that are far worse than hound hunters.

You took my reply out of contexted. Chit happens everytime you step into the woods to go hunting or are you someone that blames everything or anyone because you didn't see a buck or kill one. To much rain, snow,wind are all factors of a hunt. A tree falling in the woods spooking game is part of a hunt. a squirrel barking when it has seen you is part of hunting.
