Internet hunting ban
Somehow I missed the news that it's now possible to go hunting via an
Internet connection. It is, unfortunately.
But the good news is that a number of US states have outlawed the
practice before it was widely adopted.
The principle is simple - a "hunter" uses an internet connection and
purpose-built game reserve to fire at animals he (surely not she!)
observes via a webcam.
I thought that able-bodied birders who ticked birds via feedercams
were stretching plausability - but this new form of hunting reaches
new depths. Let's hope we don't ever see it here.
