"The use “fox pens” to train hunting dogs is a cruel and torturous practice in which dogs are released into fenced areas containing wild-caught foxes or coyotes. With no way to escape the pens, the foxes are hunted down and either maimed or ripped apart. Deaths are frequent, and hundreds of animals are subjected to this cruelty.
Virginia has a chance to protect foxes and coyotes from the inhumane and barbaric practice of fox penning. Sign this petition to urge lawmakers to save wild canines from a cruel fate."
