Thanks for your support of Hound Hunting in the Commonwealth of Virginia!

Mr. Bishop, does anyone know why this guy Del. David L. Ramadan would bring these bills up? I have looked at his facebook page and see no hunting pics. The guy is originally from Lebanon, overseas. He has two dogs on his home page, hope they dont go to a neighbors property that dog hunts and they pass this as law. I would have him arrested for trespassing. It has to be a bigger picture to this. Someone has to be coercing him to do stuff like this. If anyone finds out more please comment.

Without getting into a long discussion, suffice it to say that "Big Money " interests are at work! This is but one step toward furthering their ultimate agenda!
Effort afoot to pit landowners against hunters, and push the agenda to end hound hunting!

Good Question Kevin. Along with what Allan said, Ramadan presenting these bills is politics as usual. The special interest group(ie people pushing the agenda with the money) select a delegate with basically nothing to lose. His bills will affect other areas of the state but not his constituency. Thus it is a safe move for him. Same reason Marsden presented the fox pen bill and is the favored Senator of HSUS. Follow the money. Good question.

Any word on how the meeting went?

BOTH WERE KILLED IN COMMITTEE

I am certain Allan Bishop will be posting a thorough review of the event, but briefly, both bills were defeated. All of the calls and emails from hound hunters had a huge impact. Thank you all for the support!
