When hunting dogs are used are they allowed to hurt the animal chased (ie, bite, attack or kill the animal hunted)?
Do they merely back the animal into a corner, not touch it at all & wait for the hunter to come and do that job himself?
How do the dogs fetch the hunter to let him know an animal has been caught?
How many dogs are usually used to hunt?
I'm asking b/c we have to write a story from the point of view of a deer in a story we read (The Deer of Providencia)
TDOP begins with travelers who see a deer roped to a tree. The deer was caught by village dogs. (The village is in Providencia, Ecuador and perhaps the hunting system there is different than in the US) The deer is still alive and throughout the story goes through a lot of agony while roped to the tree before finally dying. (leading me to wonder what role the dogs played and how the hunters managed to get the deer tied to the tree in the 1st place)
Any help is appreciated. Dont turn this into a debate.
