Stop Cruel Dog-deer hunting in SC
This act of cruelty proved disastrous for many of the dogs involved in these hunts. Since I live in the country, I see first hand how dogs are being left behind in the woods to fend for themselves or being hit by speeding vehicles trying to keep up with the pace of the hunt. Lost, forgotten, or abandoned dogs were forced to beg for food from surrounding landowners, kill wildlife to survive, or starve to death. I see at least 2 dead hunting dogs a month on the road I live on due to these lazy hunters! It's time to stop it!!
Why is this important?
This petition is to stop hunters from using dogs to hunt deer. These dogs are sevely mistreated and neglected by these hunters. Most dogs are let go at the end of hunting season becuase the owners do not want to feed them, hunters say its more expensive to feed them than it is just to buy new ones every year. Therefore these dogs wind up at high kill shelters and on the streets left to die.
