Petition to ban hound hunting - AZ Game and Fish Commission

Heard this was coming and here it is. Not sure if they (Mountain Lion Foundation, Sierra Club, etc.) or other groups have submitted similar petitions in previous years.

Petition Aims to Ban Dog Pack Hunting in Arizona

"the science is clear" "just common sense" “Most Arizonans, including hunters" BS!!!

I suppose we'll be submitting comments to the Commission soon.

Blatantly lying about the total lion population as well. Gross.

I fully expect the CATS Prop 127 folks to submit a similar petition in Colorado. What in the makeup of the commission in Arizona? Any chance it passes?

Personally I don't think the commission would vote to do that. It's way overblown, exaggerated if not just plain false. Out of the many decades I've been in the field I've encountered lion hunters running dogs maybe 3 times?

This isn't the first time those orgs have tried regulating or banning our lion hunting. The reason we have population data was AZ was forced to come up with numbers to justify the continued hunting of lions. Since they couldn't outright stop the hunt I guess they'll try to cry that the dogs are mean and dangerous or something.
