GR8atta2dmakes a very valid point. These animals are not wild and have been bred for a very specific reason. I have been on a HF hunt myself once for hogs. I felt very dirty after and would not go on another again. However, it is legal and while I do not care for it, some people are willing to pay the $$$ for a living room decoration. IMO, you just have accept these type of hunts for what they are and make personal choices about if you would ever participate in something like this. I am sure PETA would love to shut this operations down as well, plus it would give them a great foot hold for attacking the rest of hunting world.
