Should be left between a veterinarian and their client to decide.
* Do you believe that animal owners should have their status as owners changed to the

caretaker?
NO
* Do you support the states' prerogatives to manage their resident wildlife populations
and establish local hunting regulations, without federal interference?
YES

regardless of species: exotic or domestic?

bans?
NO
What is your position on the following animal and/or hunting related issues?
a) Hunting, including the use of dogs
I take for granted the reliance upon dogs in any hunting effort.
b) Fishing
The only problem I see with fishing is over-fishing. As a sport it is perhaps the most
exciting and at the same time the most relaxing outdoor activity.
c) Animal medical research
Essential research needs to be continued. Hopefully in as humanely as possible
d) Animal ownership and breeding (including pet & livestock breeding, research animals,
circuses and rodeos)
In all instances where animals are treated humanely I see no problem. My issue is mainly
with back yard breeders and puppy farms.
