Reply #18: Found a Pro Canned Hunting Link [View All]

[CO Liberal]

From the New York Farm Bureau:

They discovered that what Ms. Cheever refers to as "small ranched enclosures" are actually parcels of land no smaller than 10 acres (as mandated by state law), and frequently upwards of 400 acres. They also learned that hunters are not simply walking up to passive animals and shooting them, but instead are participating in a fair hunt, as the animals are provided ample land and cover to escape.

Animal rights activists would have people believe that hunters are pursuing animals around a piece of land until the animal is trapped against a fence, at which point the hunter walks up to it and shoots it. Anyone familiar with hunting at all understands not only that this isn’t the case, but to suggest as much simply demonstrates a lack of knowledge regarding the sport.
