They turned out two packs of dogs on 67 acres. The dogs were killed 900 yards (over a half mile) from the property line.
67 acres? That is ridiculous. You would have to be a sub-imbecilic moron not to realize that your dogs are going to run off a tract of land that small and onto someone else's place. Which means the truth of the situation is that they "JUST DIDN'T"T GIVE A S###." And there is the crux of the whole dog hunting controversy in Alabama right now.
The best index to a person’s character is (a) how he treats people who can’t do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can’t fight back. - Abigail van Buren
