Earlier this year the Virginia legislature authorized a large number of various specialty license plates, including one that is to bear the slogan “Fox Hunting.” As soon as the Virginia Office of Motor Vehicles has enough requests for the specialty plate, it will begin producing them.
The Fund for Animals is urging people to write state legislators and register their disapproval for the fox hunting plate. According to the Fund for Animals,
The state of Virginia is beginning to sell a fox hunting license plate. The cruel practice of fox hunting releases baying hounds onto terrified wildlife for recreation. This special license plate was overwhelmingly authorized by the state legislature in 2002 in House Bill 680. Now the Department of Motor Vehicles is trying to sell enough of the special plate to justify beginning production. While it is too late to stop this horrific license plate, your legislators need to hear from you that you do not approve of their support for the vicious and indefensible practice of foxhunting.
