Animal Lovers
Would Be Shocked By Hunting Dog Training
Video
In many modern hunting dog trials, no animal
is actually hunted. A hunt is simulated and a pistol used only
by a judge is shot into the air, but usually no animals are
killed. Since the dogs are not judged on killing an animal,
there's no need for the prey animal to be killed. But hunting
dog training videos often show grotesque actual hunts far away
from field dog or gun dog trials.
Hunting Dog
Training Video Shows Unnecessary Suffering
Hunting dog training videos focus on the
things dogs do to assist a humans in the hunt. It is always the
human that actually does the killing. In fact, the killing bite
instinct has been bred out of a lot of breeds of dog, including
the retriever breeds. Instead, depending on the breed of dog,
the clever canines find the prey, flush it out into the open
for the human to shoot and then bring back the killed prey.
Sadly, today's sport hunters are not very
good shots. They nick or maim their prey rather than kill them
outright. This means that the dogs often wrestle and bring back
agonized prey in hunting dog training videos. The trainer and
camera person are often laughing about the feeble attempts for
the prey to get away. A real animal lover - and someone who has
to hunt for food - considers it a duty to minimize any
suffering. Death for the prey is to be as quick as
possible.
You also should never kill a prey animal
just for the sake of shooting a hunting dog training video.
Although there is an incredible outcry over the abuse of
animals in television and movies, there needs to be just as
much outrage over the suffering and death of prey animals in
hunting dog training videos. If the dogs don’t need to kill
animals as part of their training, then why bother killing them
for dog hunting training videos?
Hunting Dog
Training Videos Shouldn't Use Real
Animals
Some proponents of dog hunting training
videos showing actual deaths of animals claim that this merely
is a picture of real life. But what about police dog training
videos? Police dogs are trained to take down prisoners
with their teeth. But the people used for practice are
always in larger protective suits.
If you wanted to show real police dogs in
real work, then why don’t they make videos with real prisoners
without protective gear being taken down by dogs? It's the same
thing. If you don’t like real prisoners being used to train
police dogs, then you shouldn’t use real animals to make a
hunting dog training video.
