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.

It's not my definition. And the Antelope that the article is talking about are Blackbuck Antelope, native of India. They are nearly extinct in India, there are more in Texas than anywhere in the world.

I would prefer that folks would not use the word "hunt" to describe what happens in these canned hunts. But that's what they call it.

"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."

I completely understand and almost agree. But you or I don't have the right to force our morality on other people unless it causes harm to someone else.
