This bill will lead to hunters not being able to capture their hounds in a timely manner. Anyone who hunts with dogs knows that capturing the hounds before they cross busy roads is of up most importance. I can imagine an increase of dead hunting dogs along the roadways. Not to mention how many dogs will have to stay out for days wandering around in bad weather without food. Yep the dead and hungry hunting dog bill. Who elected this guy?
