Boy, this is comparable to the "shooting 'yotes in the spring" argument.
This is a no win argument. Sure, dog hunting is older that all of us put together. When I was a kid we would tree a coon once in a while. Racoons were pests where we lived. When we treed one, we would climb the tree to jump him out and then it was between him and the dogs. So I'm not offended by dog hunting.
Did I like the videos? No. But this argument will come back to us from the antis. We need to be cautious of how we supply them ammo. It's a free ride for them when we go after each other on such an argument.
Personally, I think the videos should have been culled before they hit the board. We don't allow overly graphic pictures, why leave the door open on video?
On top of that, those were some of the worst videos I've ever seen. The people who posted them didn't display much pride if they were proud of them. They should have used some judgement and refrained from displaying such poor video that so graphically portrayed the violence of the kill.
It would suit me if we just deleted this entire thread. We'd better off without it.
My $.02 worth. (probably overvalued)
