Hunting Dog follow-up

i have to agree with the negitive comments about mistreating the dogs (its sad), but my passion is dog hunting and you have to understand that not all dog hunters are like this and please try to support southern families (like mine)trying to keep this great tradition alive

How about the ones that keep their dogs in the wire cages that are built up off the ground? I guess that is so they don't even have to let them out to go to the bathroom, it just falls through the bottom of the wire cage to the ground therefore the cage stays cleans and the "owner" never has to clean the cage or let the dogs out until hunting time. The dogs have to sit and sleep on the wire bottoms all day and night. What a great life huh?

The entire concept of hunting dogs being disposible is startling.More people need to adopt shelter dogs,and the general public needs to be educated more about the importance of spaying and or neutering your pets.

If you aren't going to take responsibility for the animals you adopt, whether for pet or sport, then you shouldn't be allowed to adopt anymore. What is it with these idiots?? Take responsibility for those animals YOU bring into your life. I'm sure they didn't ask to be adopted by the likes of idiots.

Our redneck neighbor has a new hunting dog every 2 years. No idea what he does with the old ones. They sit in a 10x10 cage all day and are let out into the yard maybe once a day. What a miserable life for the dog. Every dog I ever had I had till it died 11-17 years.
