Let New York’s Dept of Environmental Conservation Know Hunting Coyotes with Hounds is Legalized Dog-Fighting

/ Wolf Patrol

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.

Another victim of Dennis Eacott’s hounds, driven into the water to either drown or be mauled to death. Such practices should be condemned and reported, not hidden and denied.

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. They are once again saying that they all know it happens, let’s just not post about it on Facebook.

Hound hunters and those participating in coyote killing contests recognize that they are their own worst enemy when it comes to sharing cruelty on social media. All that Facebook has done is give the rest of the world a window into the brutal sport of hound hunting that they have always been supportive of.

Ethical hunters and sportspeople 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. Protecting illegal hunting activity is the same as promoting it and it’s time those who engage in such activity are punished the same as other illegal dog-fighters.

They all know it happens on a regular basis, they just don’t want you to know 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.
