Vote No Enforce Current Laws
 

Please oppose additional regulations on dog hunting. Current laws already prohibit dogs being intentionally turned loose on property they don’t belong. This additional regulation adds nothing but vague rules which could be used to end dog hunting. This law puts no responsibility for a land owner to work with the dog hunters to help contain their dogs. No land owner in Virginia owned their land before dog hunting was legal. They chose to live in a state with dog hunting but want it eliminated for their own benefit.
