No Escape: Wildlife Under Assault

Fences, a pile of donuts, a lucky bet, and a space in their home for a mounted trophy are all many hunters require to participate in the most reprehensible hunting practices.

how can you put a price for life

Sometimes hunting is OK, when animals get too rich in numbers. But this "captive hunting" isn't a sport. It's a shamefull act.

I have no problem with hunting as a means to control a population or to legitimately get food. None whatsoever. There is something incredibly wrong with putting a population of animals in a fenced enclosure and hunting them there, though, especially when they're 'exotic' and endangered, as tigers are. Not only is this style of 'hunting' pathetic, but the standards are pathetic too. The archer taking down the ram - really? How many shots did that take?

@Skoda130 Animals are going extinct because we are taking their land away and killing them

I am a hunter and I found this repulsive!!! a 10,000 acre enclosure is one thing but going into a banyard and shooting a hand raised domestic creature is bullshit. a true sportsman would have nothing to do with this. it sickens me and gives all hunting a bad name.

@LunaTemari

oops, i meant legal hunting, as in rabbits, deer, squirrels... and not excessively. (i.e. not including baby seals, tigers, etc)

i would prefer to eat deer my whole life rather than cow killed in a slaughterhouse.

slaughterhouses are just downright cruel. and the way the animals live their lives.

at least with hunting, 90% of the time the animal dies immediately, if you are doing it correctly. :)

Disgusting and cowardly - not a sport at all. Still a much better death than that faced by the animals in slaughter houses. I used to despise all hunters until that little "fact" finally occurred to me. The life and death of the corsican (?) ram was still a better life and death than that of a factory farm animal. I think that I am actually scared of the kind of person that would think it's okay to kill animals in this fashion. Again I say - cowardly.

@elysabeth1111

and that's why it is illegal in most places



[elysabeth1111]

Ok I get it if people need to hunt to eat the meat, but hunting an animal that is kind of tame, in a confined space where it has no chance of escape? That's not even hunting at all that is basically just going in and murdering an animal for nothing more than something to put on your wall.

@belgvr OMG me too!
