really good article discussing canned hunts

[400bigbear]

It's not my cup of tea and I do understand the argument about the transferring of diseases with the potential of them being transferred to wild animals but that risk is always there even with a crow being blown in on a storm . I find the massive racks from many of these places grotesque . The thing is about some of these canned hunts is that it does allow for the physically challenged to still be able to hunt because of the accommadations etc they can provide . Also many hunts are held on huge tracts of lands as has been mentioned . In some ways it's not a heck of a lot different than fishing some of our small back lakes that are stocked . We can't catalogue the fish but I'm sure some get the point .

No way would I pay that kind of coin to hunt a monster that is genetically bred and fed even if I could afford it which I can't . To do so would make me feel like I have bought a bigger, shinier truck just to say "ha,ha " to my neighbour or friend because I can . That is not how I roll .

Does it give the antis fuel for their fire ? Of course it does but then again the veggys are against anyone who eats anything that bleeds whether it has been farmed or hunted .

It's like the English/European style of driven shoots - you have to be a good shot but it's not "hunting"!

Ya our version of canned hunts is far more tasteful. You're right. Unlike the Europeans We are proud of not being proficient with arm. I'll take a guy doing a canned over the box of junk ammo, three boxes of beer, and wound away I see all to commonly.

I'm thinking about a saying with glass houses and stones. Ya while most canukians are wounding like all get out perhaps We shouldn't be on a high horse

Really,standup? You're too funny. Yuk-Yuk's anyone?

People who derive satisfaction from paying to shoot an unhealthy, unnatural, genetic freak of a buck in a pen are probably the same kind of people who pay a prostitute and then walk away saying to themselves, "I think she really likes me".

Interesting read.

I really find it very sad what the world can come too. There is nothing ethical about this industry and certainly it is not hunting in any way shape or form. It is purely profit driven and nothing more.
