You're entitled to your opinion but if a state's wildlife department deems it lawful to hunt cats or bears with dogs, then it is legal and part of a tradition that began long before us or our Grandfathers for that matter.
I don't use dogs but have no problem with those that do so, legally.
Is dragging a worm or lure through water with all kinds of modern, electronics, down riggers, sonar, fish finders, etc. any different? I don't think so.
Pursuing happiness in life takes many lawful, forms...
That's called freedom.
