Greta, our beagle/basset mix (bagel) frowns on this.

Pack of wild bagels?

They cute little guys.

round them up and set them loose in Central Park (to take care of the rabid raccoon problem). Win-win? Lose-lose?

Agrees that the Beagle's wild.

What a wild beagle may look like:

Seriously? Abandoning beagles in the woods? What a bunch of heartless bastards. I grew up with beagles that were originally bred for hunting. They lived in the house, were housebroken, spayed and neutered and still hunted rabbits.

I never got the theory that dogs who lived outside devoid of human interaction somehow made better hunters. Beagles are pack dogs. They crave interaction. If their pack is the human family and other animals, they respect that. Our beagles loved cats, babies, other dogs and they hunted rabbits. Maybe they weren't the worlds best hunters, but they enjoyed going out and hunting.

According to local activists, some hunters act like small-time Donald Trumps, firing the dogs that don't do well during the November-to-February hunting season. One told a shelter worker, "If you don't take the dog, I'll shoot it in the head."

Yes, here on Long Island, we have more than our fair share of self-entitled shiatbags.

I farking hate beagles. They need to stay out in the woods.

HrrrrooOOOOOOUUUUOOOoooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Really? I actually enjoy some of their singing.

Meet the Beagles:

Beagles are hunting dogs? I though that ended with the 'fox hunts' in England.

I grew up in the midwest -- the only hunting dogs around here are retrievers, usually goldens.

Problem: attacked by savage beagles.
Solution: wear high boots.

BlankReg: "Savage Beagle" would be a cool band name. First album title "Pissing on our Garden"

Came here to say something like this.

/still better than the marauding Visigoths

As a beagle owner, I'm getting a kick out of this.

Also, the beagle in the article sure is ferocious looking..

Any hunter I know would shoot the guy in the head who abandoned these animals, before shooting one of the beagles in the head.

i have experience with beagles and i wanted to say that when you get them in a pack, they are formidable adversaries, able to stalk prey for miles using their keen sense of smell and unquenchable hunger. my prayers go out to victims of these savage beasts.
ok, that is total b.s., my beagle and his buddies are such cochas. they are the least threatening breed i have ever met. throw them a dog biscuit and they will be happy.

The ones that make it as hunters are also shot in the head-just a few years later.

>> Long Island makes a bid for its own tag

How about "No Place On Earth Sucks As Bad As LI".

Approves. (new window)

Next time we smuggle stock, let's make it something smaller.

Yeah we should start dealing in those black market beagles.

...


This is the last time, last time with cows. Hey there's an idea regarding beagles. They have smallish droppings.

Well, it started off amusing, but in the end all I learned is that hunters are bad. Why, this sort of thing should be legislated.

Long Island? By all means, release the hounds!

brap: Watson, grab my Snausages and saddle the horses, I'm afraid the Hounds of the Bayville are again running amok.

That's a pic of a basset hound brap.

We live near a spastic beagle that tries to get all kujo on our mastiff - kicks, etc.

I did a search to see who/if that sort of hunting even goes on...I found this:

They don't look like the sort that would do mean things to their dogs,but who knows.

Werebeagles?

Vicious!

So they barked their heads off at these people? Pfft. That's how beagles say hello.

Make great watch dogs because they'll yell and howl when something catches their attention. Make terrible guard dogs because they're usually so friendly.

/Got a beagle by my side right now
//Barking in her sleep

They could bring in Michael Vick to save the day

The man could sell a magazine, I'm sure.

Johnny Football Star: Make great watch dogs because they'll yell and howl when something catches their attention. Make terrible guard dogs because they're usually so friendly.

...and bark and howl at nothing, all the time.

Someone needs to undo the genetic atrocity these creatures represent.

Beagles can be terrifying. Just this evening I saw my beagle tear apart a cooked chicken breast and devour it.
