    Canned Hunting Petition

    Never heard of canned hunting? Neither have I, until a few minutes ago. Canned hunting is a sick "sport"(if it even is that) where some idiots, most of which don't even have very good hunting skills, shoot a captive exotic animal at close range. They don't care if the poor thing is endangered or not. All they want is money. Most of you probably don't know what canned hunting is, it is because these sickos don't want anyone to know about this. Well, now we do. Here's what a friend of mine wrote about what she saw in a video...

    "You can remain totally anonyomous, I have seen video footage of canned hunts but had no idea how I could help end them until now. It is one of the most disturbing things you'll ever see - picture this. A group of hunters unloads from one truck, another group unloading two metal boxes from another. They open the first, which reveals a cage holding a nervous lioness. SHe's chained to the cage. The door is opened, she snarls, and runs until the chain goes tight. Bang. The lion trips up, but drags itself on, apparantly in horrendous pain (there is a large wound on one of the hind thighs.) Shot rings out again. The lion is hit in the ribs, but still does not fall. This time the shooter approaches as close as it can and shoots the lion in the neck from almost point-blank range. It flinches, falls, and lies still. It is placed back into the first cage, the second is opened. It shows a small gazelle. This one is not chained, but is shot the moment it leaves the cage, twice before it too, dies."

    There is a petition that you can sign here to help stop this madness. You can even put yourself down as an anonymous, if you don't want to be known. I'm not forcing you to sign. This is for you to decide. I am just here to spread awareness.

    I got that e-mail too. I am a member of Care2 and Defenders of Wildlife. Unfortunatly, these petitions do nothing. The people in charge of things things don't care, the US secretary of agriculture would rather kill than save agriculture, and George W. Bush has about as much knowledge of these things as any greedy self absorbed politition.

    As I said before, all the petitions are rteally good for are gaining attention, whch is a huge plus in its self. I am personally going to work on this campaign though. It WOULD be illegal to shoot and killed a chained lioness as lions are endangered speies. This is the reason these events are so well hidden. What we need to do is put the spotlight on these people. Spread the message!

    Thanks for telling me, Roquivo. I'm already aware that most people don't care. After all, I found that for every animal in the world, there are about 10 people who could care less. It's sad statistics, but you're right. Spreading awareness should help! Thank you, again.

    Petition signed. This is just wrong IMO. Canned hunters should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law!

    I've heard of canned hunts before, but never knew what I could do about it. Thanks Katse and Roquivo!

    This topic has been on this forum before.. sadly it caused a mild flame war among most of the members.

    I'm personally begging everyone to remain civilized when replying to this thread, let us not repeat history?

    It is a sad thing to think of this happening to anything. Giving the animals a false hope of freedom before taking their life..

    What is there to fight about? How can anybody agree with this insanity?

    I will respect your wishes, Ravoc, and won't start anything, but if anyone on this forum actually agrees with this garbage, I will lost all respect for them, and will probably avoid them. This is one of the few times where I simply can't accept the opposite opinion.

    I signed, and sent e-mails to everyone on my list. This will be a top priority campaign for me, right up there with the aireal wolf slaughter that I have been working on for months.

    Oh, dangit. It's been here before? Well, yes, what Ravoc said. Please be respectful of everyone's opinions and don't take things personally that aren't. I know it might be difficult for some, but please.

    And Roq, as answer to your question. I don't know how they could approve of this but.. ><

    I agree with hunting, mainly because I used to hunt, but I don't agree with cage hunting, flashlight blinding, the use of assault weapons, or the use of explosives. I'm also not too fond of decoys, seems a bit cheap to me; also don't agree with mutilating a body outside of what's needed to get meat from it, not right to disrespect any kind of dead body. Canned hunting is morally wrong, IMO.

    Most serious hunting organizations (as much as I dislike them on a personal level) disapprove of canned hunts.

    What's really amazing is that that petition was made today according to that website... and it's already got over 8,000, near 9,000 signatures.

    Interesting, really. However, I don't know if it's "cruel", or "sick", when compared to what you're willing to let animals go through to get food.
