HR-5107

[Granddaddy]

Understand this is political but it will directly affect your ability to use a trained retriever while waterfowl hunting. Typical politics, activists have inserted a section in this bill to allegedly ban Greyhound racing (probably not a bad thing) but it only serves as cover to ban the killing and use of birds & ducks that are essential to training hunting dogs or training if dogs to be used in field trials and hunt tests. This would directly kill field dog events and result in poorly trained dogs used in hunting. Just another step to attempt to ban hunting altogether.

Contact your congressmen & tell them to remove this awful section that will kill the ability to train hunting dogs.

Yea it's some bs for sure! Some people sitting in a office making decisions about things they know nothing about!

This goes way beyond greyhound racing. It directly impacts the ability to properly train retrievers and hunting dogs using birds, which is essential for ethical and effective hunting. Poorly trained dogs aren't just inconvenient-they lead to more lost and wounded game. This needs to be reconsidered.
