Internet Hunting Banned in California
TheSync writes "California has banned Internet hunting. Emergency regulations will be put in place by the California Fish and Game Commission, and legislation (SB 1028) is in the works. West Virginia is considering legislation against it as well. Hunters consider hunting by robot and mouse click 'a digrace to the sport,' whereas tracking and killing innocent animals on foot is just fine."
An "innocent" deer killed my friend's grandfather. They are a menace and must be stopped.
They're extreme alright.
Eating meat is good for you. Vegans run the risk of B vitamin deficiencies (esp. B12)

"in many cases hunting acts as part of the ecosystem, preventing animal overpopulation."
That must be why other nations not so obsessed with shooting shit are so overrun by wildlife.
Yes sir, I can't even get to my fridge in the morning without tripping over several feral Kangaroos that have found their way into my house.
Who cares about forests? I don't live anywhere near any of these National parks, and don't care to visit any of them, why should I care? They can all burn as far as I care. It's only fucking wood.

Need a band-aid for that bleeding heart? This story has NOTHING to do with news for nerds nor stuff that matters.
I am a hunter. I don't believe that it's sporting to hunt via an internet connection, but I don't like any sort of bans on the sport.
I would prefer that true hunters protest and boycott the place and drive them out of business.

relax. they are just animals. i eat them, you probably eat them, their lives are nothing. whether they live or die has no effect on us. you wouldnt even know about it if you hadnt read it. it only bothers you if you are looking for a reason to be upset. animals are slaughtered in large quantities every day for eatin'. a couple extra hunted for sport means nothing. has been happening forever. being upset about this is like being upset that a character in a video game died. doesnt matter. your life doesnt change.
What you fail to understand, is that in order to live you must take life from another organizm. We are animals, not plants. Plants consume dirt(actually nutrients from dead organic matter), air and sunlight. We, animals consume organic matter. If you don't like killing other life forms, then stop living-it's your only choice.
