Actually you are correct that PETA is the cause of some of these laws. I think the penalties for removing collars and turning in dogs to the pound came about from several PETA activists getting caught redhanded stealing hunting dogs. See PETA hates dog hunting thinks its cruel to the dogs blah blah blah. now on the other hand i think peter needs to buy himself some chickens for his farm and then the effing dogs would be chasing his livestock and therefore free game since he can't shoot the cockroaches.
I didn't bring that up with Ranger's post.
A few years back there was a lowlife in Hanover named Randy Kirby. He had a couple of acres and liked to shoot dogs so he bought some chickens.
He even shot two dogs and dragged them into a Board of Supervisors meeting to complain. They did charge him for getting blood on the carpet.
To back up to Wyldes post...yeah, 80% of the dog hunters are ethical but the other 20 really makes an impression...
and G7G...I would hate to have to spend eternity in that special spot in hell with Kirby.
Now if you could just convince Bob that Trespassing Dog Hunters are a Non Game Species...:lol:
