I live in a rural area of South Carolina, which is a major dog dumping ground. We see all breeds, but hounds are constant, especially during hunting seasons. Shelters, rescues, and even private citizens who are taking in strays are overwhelmed by the number of dogs that have been abandoned. These poor animals are subject to starvation, injury, and diseases. Almost all of them have not been neutered or spayed, which contributes greatly to the homeless dog population. Dogs play an important part in our society- their intelligence, love, and empathy is second to none, and no dog deserves to spend it's life afraid, cold, injured, or starving. The state of South Carolina needs to do better as far as enacting laws that will protect dogs, and punish their negligent owners. A dog is a living, empathetic, loving creature - not an object.
Renee supported: Save South Carolina hunting dogs- stop letting them be legally abandoned!This is a shame. I just recently adopted a former hunting dog that is great with my other hound dog I got as a puppy. They play hard. I hope the trauma of living outside without food or water is behind him. I love my dogs with all my heart. They are part of our family.
Michael supported: Save South Carolina hunting dogs- stop letting them be legally abandoned!We adopted one of these neglected and abused hounds three years ago. He has the sweetest soul, but unfortunately has some long term issues because of the abuse and neglect.
Elaine supported: Save South Carolina hunting dogs- stop letting them be legally abandoned!As a lifelong animal advocate and professional dog trainer, I recently leapt this law regarding it being legal to abandon “hunting dogs” in South Carolina.
Not only outdated and unethical, anyone in political power needs to take action to stop this immediately. I will call on my representatives to do so and hope that everyone who sees this does the same.
Max supported: Save South Carolina hunting dogs- stop letting them be legally abandoned!I am a former NJ resident and part of a TNR program in the city I lived in and had a small colony that I took care of. I was a NJ resident when this bill first came around. I supported it then as I do now. Community cats need help! And also the advocates for them.
Sue supported: Bring Low-Cost Spay/Neuter & TNR to New Jersey!TNR works! I did it years ago in my neighborhood at my own cost. Keeping animals from being born in the wild is a lot easier than trying to keep them fed and healthy.
Diane supported: Bring Low-Cost Spay/Neuter & TNR to New Jersey!You’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
