It is the truth. Those who oppose hunting with dogs have sadly misinterpreted the issue. Perhaps this is because our language skills developed. We gave things names and added descriptions. Single things can be interpreted in many different ways.
Some people call hunting with dogs 'sport'.
This is only a phrase, which, in truth, was originally linked to the rules and codes of conduct which benefit the prey species. You may interpret the word 'sport' as you wish. How you do so is totally irrelevant to animals. Your interpretation of a single word will make no difference to them because they are aware only of their nature. And as we cannot change ours, animals cannot change theirs.
