Just informing that when they take a step up the ladder, our step is somewhere.
If they can pass this bill with out a hearing what can they do next.
All bills aren't all good or bad but the thought of a committee sitting in a room passing bills with out a public hearing is how we loose our right.
The plan has been put in place to do away with dog hunting in the future, WATCH.
I don't have a lot of years left but some of you will see dog hunting gone unless we strand for what's right.
Yes Sir I understand and agree with that point 100%. But if we as dog hunters jump up and down and pitch a fit for things that 1.) don't relate to us 2.) things are are really not ethical (and I do believe "puppy mills" are not ethical) we will start to lose our influence (our punch, if you will) I think. I have been dog hunting personally for 25 years and went with my dad hog hunting with dogs down in Florida when I was old enough to walk (I just sat in the truck when they went to the bay...but I was in the truck during the race...and it is something I haven't forgotten to this day). So to see dog hunting diminish would crush me. But I think we need to pick our battles and unite with a strong front when we do go into a battle.

It makes no difference whether or not it directly mentions dog hunting. It does pertain to dog ownership. This bill is something that we as dog hunters need to stomp into the dirt to prevent legislation in the future from affecting us. It is called "slippery slope". If bills like this and others are passed with little opposition then when it comes time to defend dog hunting the momentum against us will be too strong.
