EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Ok ok been hearing it and hearing it what is the true scoop on it?  True no mammal to mammal contact?  It is federal right?  The only thing I could find when I looked was expanding the catch competitions but on facebook a guy said he just got out of a meeting saying no mammal to mammal contact.

Just started looking and reading, I will post up what I find that might be of interest.


SEC. 12108. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING FERAL SWINE ERADICATION.
It is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) the Secretary of Agriculture should recognize the threat feral swine pose to the domestic swine population and the entire agriculture industry; and
(2) feral swine eradication is a high priority that the Secretary should carry out under the authorities of the Animal Health Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.).

(g) Definitions
In this section—
(1) the term “animal fighting venture” means any event, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, that involves a fight conducted or to be conducted between at least 2 animals for purposes of sport, wagering, or entertainment, except that the term “animal fighting venture” shall not be deemed to include any activity the primary purpose of which involves the use of one or more animals in hunting another animal;

I believe in one of the Carolinas they started using a mechanical hog in baying competition's...probably for the same reasons...

If u read it it says reasonable belief that one or both animals may be injured. If I recall correctly. In a bay comp a person has a reasonable expectation the NEITHER animal will be injured. Bay comps have rules and personnel in place to help prevent this.
