The hounds you see out on their own have most likely got lost ,not abandoned,everyone knows a hound and farmers normally gather them up and phone the kennels to collect.A hound that is no longer of any use would nt be out on a days hunting.
Again my point is THINK,don t blindly assume,huntsmen know more about animal welfare and adore their hounds than most and it is a dangerous thing to make statements based on isolated experiences.
Just to add the worst condition dogs i have ever seen where in a spca kennel ,no box ,no water,poor condition.Big sign outside read The *spca does not take stray or abandoned animals.
What do they do??????
Yes i have photos of the kennels in question and if i could afford it i would bring a private prosecution against them.
Sorry for going of topic but since one organisation is being hammered i think some facts about opposition is only fair.
