Fox Penning is a cruel blood-sport that needs to be banned in Virginia. Virginia is one of the foremost states with the best animal welfare legislation yet, foxes in Virginia suffer everyday especially during hunting season from repeated acts of cruelty. It's time that we do something and speak on behalf of those who are unable to speak for themselves.

There are 20 states in this country that allow Fox Penning for "training" foxhounds. These foxes are captured and traded across state lines to be thrown in a 100 acre pen with no way to escape while they are chased, hunted down, and ripped apart by hounds. This senseless act of cruelty needs to be stopped.

Write, email, or call you local legislators and tell them to ban Fox Penning in Virginia.
