Default RE: Similar to WHA.

"One portrays itself as hunting, when it's not. The other is merely a competition revolving around hunting. Therein lies the difference." - me.
I will second that!

I don't care if the WHA had zero prize money, was televised on PBS, and only "make a wish" children were allowed to participate. I would still not support it. It is an absurd organization that is "portraying itself as hunting." (well put Greg)

We have offered solutions in past discussions of WHA and none of them (that I've read) had to do with less money or prizes.
They were: No Tranqualizers, No Drugging of any kind, No Pens, and make it Fair Chase.
We have, from the very beginning, suggested they use cameras if they don't want to kill the animals.

Then it could be classified as revolving around hunting. No difference than Dream Season or C.C. Heck, I'd sign up for that.

But to intentionally promote the harrassment of penned up and drugged animals to a national audience and try to pass that off as hunting will never be acceptable.
