California Governor Signs Hound Bill

California Governor Jerry Brown has signed into law a bill that bans the use of dogs in hunting bear and bobcat. The moment represents a long-sought for success for animal rights activists, who have been bringing this or similar bills to the California legislature for many years now. Pro-hunting groups with the help of the MFHA and the United States Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA) have, until now, successfully staved off passage.

There is no doubt that this bill represents a major defeat for all sportsmen and women who hunt with dogs or hounds. Where will it go from here? is the big question.
