Rejected petition: Stop the ban of trail hunting
Rejected on
Stop the ban of train hunting as people will still do it but disguise it is something else, wouldn't you want to know people are doing it rather than not know. A tradition is trying to be taken from our country!
Some horses and hounds are bred for a purpose, and hunting fulfills their instincts and wellbeing in a way little else can. Trail hunting provides that outlet without killing foxes. While illegal hunting may occur, there’s little evidence it’s widespread. Meanwhile, domestic dogs and cats routinely kill wildlife with far less scrutiny. Where do we draw the line on instinct, responsibility, and value of life? For most, hunting days are about tradition, horsemanship, dog husbandry, and community.
