🚨ARE YOU READY TO TURN YOUR SPORTING DOG INTO A FELONY? 🚨
I’m dropping this because most of you have no idea what just happened in D.C. While we were focused on our own dirt, the House Agriculture Committee just voted to advance the 2026 Farm Bill (H.R. 7567). Hidden deep in the paperwork is a "Trojan Horse" amendment called the Greyhound Protection Act (H.R. 5017).
DON’T LET THE NAME FOOL YOU. The activists behind this didn't just target racing. They used broad, dangerous language that criminalizes "live lure training" nationwide.
THE REAL-WORLD IMPACT:
In the eyes of a federal prosecutor, "live lure" can be interpreted as:
The pigeon you use to steady your Pointer.
The shackled duck you use to train your Retriever.
The caged raccoon you use to strike your Hounds.
THE STATUS: This just cleared the House Committee (March 5, 2026). It is headed to the full House floor and then the Senate. This is the only window we have to stop it. If this passes, the traditions we’ve handed down for centuries are over.
THE SPREADSHEET OF SURVIVAL:
THE BANS: Anti-use groups want to kill the "North American Model." They want to replace hunter-funded conservation with taxpayer-funded "management" (which always fails).
THE TRUTH: Hunters and dog trainers are the primary funders of the habitat these animals live in. If you kill the dogs, you kill the funding.
STEP UP NOW:
The Senate Agriculture Committee is the final line of defense. We need to flood them with one message: Strip the "Live Lure" language from the Farm Bill. SHARE THIS into every hunting and dog club on Facebook. We need to wake up the silent majority before the Senate vote.
