Canned Hunting

What are the views on the practice of canned hunting in African lion farms?

Australia has just banned the import and export of trophies acquired by shooting canned lions. Our National Party politicians are furious that they weren't consulted.

I believe there has been some sort of bill passed in the US but lacks Senate support. Is this a federal or a state bill and is it likely that canned hunting of exotic animals such as lions could become legal in America.

I'd welcome clarification and opinions from the American perspective on this issue.
 

Ralphy, unless you are Native American, you are arguably a furriner, certainly from furriner stock. Lol lol . Will give you the benefit of the doubt around being primitive. I have some Sioux blood, so am partially an original Canadian. The rest is/was furrin. I won't tell you whether or not I am primitive, you are not old enough.:cool:
 
I can't even print what I really think of everyone involved with this industry! From the butchers to the suppliers to the cruds that mount the carcasses! Every last one of those people deserves to be hung on a wall! Let's start mounting the real animals!

And Ralph, those canned or captive hunts happen everywhere. http://www.bornfreeusa.org/a9d_hunts.php "
  • At more than 1,000 commercial captive hunt operations in the United States, trophy hunters pay to shoot native and exotic mammals — from zebra to endangered Scimitar-Horned Oryx — confined in fenced enclosures.'
500 of this abominations in Texas! http://bigcatrescue.org/500-canned-hunting-ranches-in-tx/

So Ralph, if you do your own search, you will discover that you can't point the finger of blame at 'furiners' because there are three fingers pointing back at yourself.
From canned hunts in Texas, Minnesota and numerous other States of the Union, wherever some jerk-off has enough land to keep these animals, to the monsters who shoot thousands of terrified captive pigeons out of the sky in Pennsylvannia, the blood bath goes on.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canned_hunt - if you read down, you'll find a piece on country music singer Troy Gentry who was charged and convicted in 2006 for shooting an old toothless pet bear named Cubby with a bow and arrow (for the sake of making a video about his great 'hunting' exploits no less!) and waiting while the poor old guy died slowly from his injuries. One thing that I noticed mentioned on several of the sites I looked at, the killers never go for instant painless deaths via head shots. Invariably they are stomach shots which means these animals get to suffer for a considerable amount of time before death finally gives them relief. So totally disgusting!

As for Canada, well I did do a search but couldn't find anything that suggests that businesses like that exist here (although it's entirely possible and they are better at flying under the radar), but what the heck, we can send our 'jerk-offs' down to you guys to kill beautiful animals for fun! It should also be noted that S. Africa hosts this sort of thing too.
 
How can people look at those animals and do what they do? Really, who are the animals? No 'big brains' in that crowd! Big men with little ***** and women who wish they had one. Hmmm, can you tell how angry this makes me :mad:?
 
Sick, for sure, after they kill them, they'll have them mounted and hang their trophy on the living room wall so they can brag about their kill to all their buddies.

This where we have the advantage. It is not possible to hunt big game in Australia unless you want to hunt Asian buffalo I suppose. I don't think that is an attractive proposition for trophy hunters.

By banning the import and export of trophy lion parts it could discourage Australians participating in caged hunting overseas.

There is a push to hunt crocodiles in the north but so far they are still a protected species.
 
We're not hunters, but if we needed the meat for food, we would go into the forest and shoot a deer. I have no issue with those who hunt for food out in the wilderness. However, putting a cage around these animals so they can't even run far enough to escape potential danger is appalling. This practice of canned hunting should be banned throughout the world. I have no respect for those who go on canned hunts, just to think their tough and pose with the animal they've killed. Don't need much skill to kill a caged animal, like shooting fish in a barrel. The people that are involved at all in these canned hunts make me sick, I have no respect whatsoever for the hunter or the operator of the facility.

I've hunted for years. To me, the best part of the hunt is the ability to get in a position to take a shot. I like to move quietly through the forest, and try to read the trails and signs left by the movements of the deer. I don't even like to put up a tree stand, and sit waiting for one to come by. Hunting, IMO, is all about tracking and stalking the prey, and only taking a shot when a kill is almost a certainty. These "armchair" hunters have No skills, and give hunting a bad name.
