This is the Only one that I found so Far and It was on Facebook
Quote From "Animal Care Alliance" Richmond Ind.
"Once again it is time for the Autumn Oaks Coonhound event. As someone that has been involved in animal rescue in this area for almost 20 years, I am less than enamored with this gathering. Before the last camper leaves the fairgrounds, those of us that care for the lost and abandoned animals of this community will begin to get calls about dogs that have been left behind. Dogs are taken out on nigh
t hunts and after chasing down terrified raccoons, the dogs that fail to return are often left behind, “poor performers” in the hunt. Those dogs soon begin to show up at farms and homes, frightened and hungry. Many will not survive, victims of automobiles, disease, starvation.
Hunters should, at the very least, be required to leave with as many dogs as they arrived with. A substantial donation to the groups in the area that care for their abandoned dogs might also help. Not all events that include dogs and people are happy events for the animals."
