I agree. Dog Hunters went to Raleigh to protest this bill, and have a few GOP reps not for it. I suspect it will be watered down or scrapped.Better control over the dog thing. Good.
Nickel and dimming you for everything. Not good.
Just think if there were no buttholes, we wouldn't need new laws. People abuse the piss out of stuff and create their own problems.
I hate over regulation.

A lot of the dog hunters around here are smarter than that. They won't get caught on someone else's property. They will release where they have permission, then let the dogs run across property they don't have permission to be on inorder to chase deer of that property. Then wait on the other side or near the roads for something to run off the property.I ran into a Game Warden one day while quail hunting. It was deer season and he was looking for some deer hunters. He told me how he had given a deer hunter a ticket for hunting on land without permission. He said the hunter told him that he was just looking for his dogs. He said he told the hunter, "You don't have to carry that gun to look for your dog on property that you aren't supposed to be on."
Maybe if a few dogs came up missing now and again, they would stop that crap.
I'm not for shooting the dog, they actually don't know any better. There needs to be a lawful way to hold their owners responsible for violating private property rights. Also shooting the dog on land you lease is a touchy issue with the law if it's proven you shot a non threatening dog that's not destroying your property. The deer aren't your property. The crops aren't my property if I'm just leasing hunting rights. Most the dogs have tracking collars, in some cases imbedded micro chips under the skin. My luck I would get caught and have the books thrown at me for shooting a dog. Shooting a dog in today's society is as bad as a sex offender. Heck you'd probably get more time for killing the dog.I know this is a touchy subject, but sometimes the life of one dog may need to be taken to put some respect into the owner of said dog.
I'm not advocating for the outright shootings of any dog found on your property but if it's a chronic event, then maybe additional steps need to be taken.
Usually I agree, but in this case I haven't found a way for a trespassing charge to stick unless the individual theirself enters the property.We don't need any new laws. Of any kind. Period.

Thus they technically aren't trespassing, and you can't get a charge unless the individual was on the property.
They are letting their dogs trespass for them, and it's something that needs to be addressed.

Thus it needs to be addressed and determined if turning dogs loose near someone else's posted property, not controlling them and letting them run across posted property is a type of trespassing or a violation of private property rights. This is something current laws don't address that I know of.
