While I don't like this practice, If you look at this dispassionately what you have is game management. And that is the responsibility of the landowner.

While I don't agree with hunting over feeders or from a vehicle, It is legal in Texas. Take it up with the lawmakers.

The article didn't say weather deer were harvested this way. I think probably not. It sounds to me like the animals were so called "exotics", or non- native species.

Dead is dead weather from home or at the game farm. These animals are raised expressly for sport hunting and nothing else.

Excuse me, but under your definition the cattle, hogs, etc., at the slaughterhouse are animals raised for "sport hunting" because they were raised to be killed. Raised as part of a hunting family, I have shot a few deer and antelope. While I didn't enjoy it, I have no problem with hunters. Deer harvests are needed. However, killing animals at a feeder via the internet is neither "sport" nor "hunting." It is simply killing because you want to kill something. Like I said, I have no problem with hunters. I do have a problem with people who just want to kill something just for the sake of ending the life of a living creature.
