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."

    Meat, ummmmm. Yummy. One of the best "roasts" I ever had was elk but my brother-in-law didn't "shoot" it by clicking a mouse. Ditto for some deer jerky one of the folks I used to work with brought in.

    hahahaha. Deers are more of a menace because they're over populated, eat gardens, trees, and bushes. Not because they killed your grandmother. What did your Grandmother do, hit it with a car? Not really the deer's fault then...Maybe your Grandmother shouldn't have been driving.
