Default RE: how is this "hunting"

An awfull lot of self righteous comments here. "It's morally wrong" ? Better be carefull with that one. If a high fense kill is immoral then certainly slaughter houses are immoral too.Where does it end? As far as is it hunting or notwell somebody posted the following def.

hunting
n 1: the pursuit and killing or capture of wild animals regarded as a sport [syn: hunt]

If you want to get picky then anybody hunting from a tree stand or a blind simply waiting to ambush an animal isn't hunting either. No pursuit when you are just waiting for the animal to come to you now is there? What happens when that type of hunting becomes immoral.

As far as I'm concerned there is nothing particularly moral or honorable about killing an animal. We all hunt for our own self gratification, for our own self interests. All we do when we fling stones at the way others kill is to teach the anti's how to throw them more accurately at us.
