This is my views on banning any type of hunting or fishing. They are just that my views.
First in states such as Texas,La.,Miss. etc. if PETA or HSUS goes before the state legislature and says we want you to ban hog hunting
with dogs or deer hunting with dogs or whatever, they (the state legislature) will toss their a$$es to the curb. Why? cause PETA and
HSUS don't vote and don't carry any weight in such states. PETA and HSUS and the likes ARE dangerous to us because they do their job by convincing individuals with no knowledge of the subject that it's wrong and should be banned. They should not be taken lightly.
Here is how hunting with dogs will be banned. If people and groups who DO CARRY WEIGHT , such as land owners, ranchers, game farms,
and our fellow hunters who are against hunting with dogs, start putting heat on our state legislatures to ban hunting with dogs, It's a done
deal, game over. It's that simple. In politics the squeeky wheel gets the grease.
Now, let me give you an example of what we hog doggers will have to do if we want a chance at continuing to hunt with dogs.
Remember the BP oil spill? The La. Wildlife and Fisheries closed the affected areas to all recreational fishing. In the weeks to follow every
environmental,tree-hugging, ex-hippie, save the world SOB descended on Baton Rouge and convinced the La. Wildlife and Fisheries that
ALL coastal waters in the state should be closed to recreational fishing. I'm talking areas hundreds of miles from the affected marshes.
This didn't set to well with the recreational fisherman and they briefly organized and they went to Baton Rouge to meet with the Wild Life & Fisheries and members of the State Legislature. Thousands of sport fisherman showed up not only to protest the closure of the coastal waters but to protest the state and the Wildlife & Fisheries caving to these environmental groups. They re-opened the areas to fishing only because of the amount of people that showed up to put heat under their a$$es. You see, on this particular day the recreational fishermen were united . They out numbered any other groups on the issue. They carried the political weight that day.
They were the squeeky wheel that day and they got the grease. It also boils down to perception. How is hunting with dogs perceived by the general public. It is going to be an uphill battle for us because we will never out number the fellow hunters who are against hunting with dogs. We can work on perception though.
x's A WHOLE BUNCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
