Internet Hunting Banned in California

Posted by timothy on from the crisis-of-the-nanosecond dept.

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."

    "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.

    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.
