Peace commends Caroline, King William, King and Queen, New Kent, and Spotsylvania Counties for their support of the tradition of hunting with dogs The practice of hunting with dogs is a hot topic across the Commonwealth. Del. Christopher K. Peace (R-Hanover), today announces passage of a House Resolution 19, commending Caroline, King William, King and Queen, New Kent, and Spotsylvania Counties for their support of the tradition of dog hunting. Moreover, this resolution is an "expression of the House of Delegates' support for the tradition of hunting with dogs."
"Hunting with dogs contributes to public safety by helping to control excess wildlife populations that would otherwise increase auto accidents, crop and property damage, and animal diseases," Peace affirmed. "The tradition of hunting with dogs is wholesome family-oriented and teaches self-reliance, individual responsibility, and the values of community stewardship of the state’s natural resources."
Copies of the resolution are to be prepared for presentation to the governing authorities of Caroline, King William, King and Queen, New Kent, and Spotsylvania Counties.
