This is classic divide-and-conquer by HSUS. The concept of hunting "fenced" animals is naturally repugnant to ethical hunters, yet the reality is that the "fences" contain hundreds and frequently thousands of acres.
If you value hunting, don't fall for this nonsense and support a ban on so-called "canned" hunts. Like "assault" weapons, it's part of an incrementalist strategy.

I say anyone that would go on one of these hunts is a mouth-breathing girly man no matter how much land the animals are fenced in.
The analogy of the nerd using hookers because that's all he can get is extremely accurate. These clowns would soil themselves on a real hunt.
Personally I adhere to the "Nugent Doctrine" when it comes to my hunting. I much prefer the crossbow to a rifle and the process of tracking the beast is where I get most of my enjoyment. I even think the use of feeders really reduces the challenge, but hey, if you're not up to it, you're not up to it.

I had to read this statement TWICE to realize that you WEREN'T advocating such a ban.
