ACTION ALERT: Help Ban Coyote & Fox Penning in Virginia
Penning, the practice of confining coyotes and foxes in fenced enclosures and exposing them to mauling by packs of dogs for “sport” and “entertainment,” is a cruel and vicious practice that is, unfortunately, prevalent in states like Virginia. Foxes and coyotes suffer horribly and die in the pens- literally torn apart.
