Strongly oppose dog hunting legislation
 

Hound hunting is deeply ingrained into Virginia soil starting with George Washington himself. I find it at its core to be bad practice to change the ways of a people to duit the newer residents and their differing opinions. For us Virginia is our only chance to hound hunt as many states have already went back on there roots and made it impossible. I find it hard to understand why so many buy land in an area known for dog hunting then act surprised when it happens. There is an easy answer in them going somewhere else, for us there is no other option.
