Walk lightly with this, first off most hunters or at least alot, are against the canned places. However not all "kill fee" spots are canned hunts. There are places that are disgusting, 1 acre pens, tame animals etc. There are others that are 10's of thousands of acres. many hog hunts and exotics are in "pens" yet are big enough to make it fair chase.
As for inhumane way to treat the animal, well it's a short jump from penned hunt being inhumane to all hunts, after all they are still killed in the same way, bullet or arrow.
Their definition of a canned hunt could include any guided hunt, and that is probably their intention.
They are trying to misinform the public at large about their intentions to solicit donations, to build their warchest to go against their real targets....the hunting and trapping community as a whole.
Make no mistake, their current CEO is vehemently anti-hunting and will not stop at "canned hunts".
