RE: VIRTUAL HUNTING : for real. Controversy with a capital C
I have no problem with it but it shouldn't be called hunting. I equal it to guy in the slaughter house who points the gun at a steers head and pulls a trigger. The animals are bought and raised for the purpose of being turned into dinner. It's not hunting and if we relay that message it won't be a big deal.
How about walking into a grocery store and pointing out which trout you what taken from the live tank. That's not fishing but no one is complaining about that. At Live-shot your choosing your steaks and chops on the hoof.
As I read their site, You pay for the animal and a guy is sitting in a blind with the computer and its up to him to release the safety before you shoot to ensure a clean kill. The animal is butchered and you decide to either have the meat sent to you or donated to a food bank.
