Wolf Patrol's video: New York s Coyote Hunting with Hounds is Legalized Dog-Fighting

Yesterday, Wolf Patrol reported on the widespread cruelty and abuse associated with the barbaric sport of hunting coyotes with hounds, which is at it's peak right now in winter across many American states including New York, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Virginia, Illinios and Indiana. The following videos and photos were found on New York hound hunter, Dennis Eacott's public Facebook page and illustrate how comfortable coyote hunters have become with engaging in what can only be called legalized dog-fighting. Eacott was just one of dozens of coyote hound hunters sharing their cruelty on private Facebook pages like, "Coyote Hunting with Hounds." And since their public exposure, angry hound hunters have not called for an end to the often illegal abuse. Instead they are recognizing that they are their own worst enemy when it comes to sharing cruelty on social media. All that Facebook has done is given the rest of the world a window into the brutal sport of hound hunting. Ethical hunters and sportspeople everywhere should call for the suspension of hunting privileges for known abusers like Eacott, rather than call on each other to not post graphic videos and photos on Facebook. They all know it happens on a regular basis, they just don't want you to know about it. It's time to let those in charge of this country's public trust wildlife that we will not stand by as animal abusers and dog-fighters masquerade as legal recreational hunters. Killing coyotes with dogs isn't a sport that any state wildlife agency should endorse. Please send a polite email to New York's Commissioner for the Department of Environmental Conservation to let him you it's time to end the state's legal dog-fighting season known as hunting coyotes with hounds.
