I remember watching the 3 legged dog commercial on tv, supposedly the pooch had stepped into a leg trap and had to get it amputated. After the bill passed it was found out that the dog actually lost it by getting hit by a car. My question was, where's the other side of the story? There were no commercials defending trapping or using dogs and bait for bear hunting at all. We sportsman apparently donate millions (if not more) to our causes and yet we see nothing in the media defending us. The only time we do hear anything is when its too late. We need to become more pro-active and educate the masses that were not just a bunch of rednecks looking to pluck something. We now have idiots that sit on our Mass Wildlife board (just a couple) who want to run their own agenda and we put up with it. Just not smart policies imo.
