    ASPCA

    Virginia voters overwhelmingly oppose the practice of “fox penning” by a more than 9-to-1 margin – and a large majority support legislation to prohibit the practice. A new poll conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research surveyed 625 statewide voters on various animal welfare issues.

More than 7,000 foxes were subjected to these unsporting and inhumane events in Virginia in the last six years.
