Stop Cruelty Towards Tracking Dogs Now!!!

I feel very strongly about this subject, I do believe it can become a growing problem in Virginia.

I live in the mountains and frequently with the bear hunting season, I see skinny, starving tracking dogs with their head being weighed down with heavy GPS collars. I just don't think it is right that the dogs go out in the rain and snow, while the owners sit in their trucks just waiting for the dogs to do the work! THIS IS WRONG!  What is the point in doing a sport, such as hunting, if you are not even doing the sport! People need to feed their dogs and get off their lazy butts! Also, the dogs with often times get hurt or even killed trying to track the bears down. They can get hurt and sometimes the hunters will leave them. IF YOU LOVE ANIMALS, PLEASE, STOP THIS!

Thank you.
