Everybody hates the televised hunting tournament thing

Porphyry sent in a follow up to our earlier post about the World Hunting Association, which plans to air televised hunting events in which the deer are brought down by tranquilizer darts and arrows. It seems that, like hunting over the internet, we’ve found another issue where pro-animal groups and hunters have some common ground in their opposition. Of course, the reasons differ widely (animal groups are concerned for the animals, hunters think it’s not real hunting without the kill), but whenever you can get bipartisan rejection of an idea, it’s probably going to trump any focus group you can come up with. Regardless of the feedback, the WHA is still planning its first tournament this October, assuming they get around the legal challenges that are mounting. Link.
