Can someone tell me what are my options when a guide puts us in a place that I don't want to drop my hound??

Example:

I was at a hunt not too long ago where the judge/guide had us cut our dogs within about 50 yards of Interstate 79. We voiced our concerns and he said 'if the dogs are stupid enough to go that way, they deserve to get hit' or something to that effect. We left 2 spectators behind, and sure enough they had to catch 2 of the dogs that were running a track that way.

Not sure of the options,I would have refused to cast my dog and went back to the master of hounds.

If the "majority" didnt want to turn loose, then all should refuse and go back to the MOH like Bearhunter said.
