Arlington Cemetery
“Arlington is a wonderful place to walk -- lots of wildlife and beautiful azaleas. Unfortunately, on my last trip there a man drove into the cemetery with his pickup truck just before dusk and let/made his dog chase the resident fox around off-leash, which was upsetting to both my fiancee and I, as we are lovers of natural wildlife and think that using dogs to hunt foxes is barbaric, especially when we know from previous visits that this is a momma fox with several kits to protect. Additionally, there are signs at the entrances that say no pets? Really put a damper on our night, and now we'll be worried going forward that we'll see that happen again.
I would be very upset to learn that cemetery staff were contracting/permitting this individual to remove the fox family by hunting them with a dog, so I really hope that's not the case.”
