They track down animals --- sometimes large animals like bears or large cats --- and attempt to chase them up a tree so the hunters can come shoot them. This is not only cruel to the animal being hunted, but the dog is forced to track and face a predator much larger than itself. The dogs are kept to hunt and are treated like livestock rather than the affectionate pets that they are. It sounds like a horrible life for a dog to live. Are there any groups working to end the use of dogs for hunting, and can anyone give me links? > >Thanks. > - Muffy > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
