I’m asking to oppose the Dog trespass bill. Can you really imagine if you do away with dog hunting how much money that would cost the state of Virginia people buying license hunters going to stores during lunch buying dog food, yearly it would be devastating to the state of Virginia moneywise. There might be a few bad apples out there, but most hunters that I hunt with I’ve hunted for over 40 years and most hunters that I have hunted with they take care of their dogs. They spend lots of money on their dogs. I don’t know how a dog can read a posted sign I think the Hunter if he’s gonna be close to somebody’s land he should go and tell them he’s turning some dogs loose close to them. Do they have any live stock running loose and then don’t turn the dogs loose in that area. If you don’t want to put them up, go somewhere else but as far as dogs trespassing on somebody’s land, I don’t think they can read a tresspassing signs. everybody that I’ve hunted with in the past years they all have tracking collars they know where the dog is they try to get to the dog as soon as they can so no trouble get stared up. I don’t know what else we can do but like I said, there are a few bad apples out there, but this would be devastating to the state of Virginia. please oppose the trespassing dog hunting bill.
