U can thank the yuppies moving to the country. U can also thank irresponsible people that run dogs.
The dog hunter of today has to do everything within his power to keep his dogs on the correct property.
The yuppie needs to understand that dogs are not near as bad as they think.
U have tons of folks moving to the country to enjoy country life that have no idea what it really is. These same people think they own wild animals because they feed them corn. There is as much difference of thinking between new country and born country as a conservative and a liberal. I doubt the days of most folks in the country understanding dogs and dog hunting will ever return. Just think about it. 30 years ago how many country folks ran dogs of some kind. 50 years ago I'm sure there was even more. Our only hope is to figure out how to keep the city slickers in the city .
I understand that's how you feel and I respect that. Either you've had personal experiences to make you feel that way or you're just bias towards "city slickers." Either way, that's your opinion. I'm someone who you'd consider a "city slicker" and I'm going to get a place out in the country to settle down and enjoy a quiet, peaceful life. But I'm coming to the country and looking forward to the country life, not trying to bring the "city slicker" mentality out to the sticks. Just wanted to voice that not everybody who grew up in the city fits your stereotype that you presented to the board. You never know what type of person someone is if all you do is judge them because they didn't grow up in the sticks like you. Can be just as much of a respectful, contributing member of your community as you are. As far as shooting dogs goes, I'd never do that! Even the "city slicker" I am, I'd kennel or chain it up and contact info (if on dog). If there was no info on dog I'd go to feed store,local businesses etc. until I found their owner. Wouldn't stop until I found the rightful owner.
