I don't use dogs but have no problem with those that do so, legally.
Is dragging a worm or lure through water with all kinds of modern, electronics, down riggers, sonar, fish finders, etc. any different? I don't think so.
Pursuing happiness in life takes many lawful, forms...
That's called freedom.
I agree, I fully except I'm a hypocrite. I justify it by telling myself that a Bass would eat it's child, while a cat, dog or bear will fight you to the death. If someones hunting with dogs to feed there family I wouldn't say a word. I like a "sport" where the underdog has a chance to win. Right or wrong I questions anyone's character that kills "in pursuit of happiness". It was lawful to kill a human at different points in time as well, The Romans loved it. I just hope we can evolve. All my friends are hunters so you can question my integrity also.
