Who has heard of these "canned hunts"? I cringe at even calling it a hunt, because itrequires no skill whatsoever.
Some dumbfuck has a captive big cat; a leopard, a tiger, a mountain lion, etc., and another dumbfuck comes along, pays about 10 grand and they cage the cat, take it out to the woods somewhere, find an open field, loose the dogs on the cat and the fucker with the gun shoots the cat and collects his "trophy".
Now, I hunt. I bowhunt for whitetail deer and I don't bait. I stalk, pattern the deer, and have learned how to kill and dress a deer. And I use the meat from anything I have killed.
These fucking useless pieces of shit put in no effort, know nothing more than how to pull a trigger on a gun and pat themselves on the back for shooting a captive cat from 30 feet away. They don't contribute to conservation as hunters do, because there is no such thing as a license for a "hunt" like this. And it's a total fucking waste! You don't eat a carnivorous animal.
Some of these pussies actually film their "hunt" which is good because it is evidence to prosecute their worthless asses. I hope to see a film where one of the morons with the gun misfires and the cat turns on him and rips his fucking throat out and eats his liver. ::angrier::

They do a similar thing at a large zoo somewhere in China.
Basically you can pay a few hundred dollars and you can shoot the animal of your choice, they don't allow the shooting of any endangered species though which is big of them !
The animal is led from its cage/habitat tied to a post and you can shoot it as many fuckingtimes as you like.
At the same zoo they have "special feeding events" where they throw live animalsto tigers, lions and Komodo dragons. Anything from a calf to a full grown reindeer is thrownin to be eaten alive, apparently the kids love it !

The live prey thing I can understand. A captive animal doesn't want to be fed, it wants to hunt. That much I can understand.
But the tying an animal to a post so some fucker can shoot it just because makes about as much sense as mouse porn.

Well thelive prey in question is just chucked in there, as in thrown over a twenty foot wall not lowered gently, the animal in question is incapacitatedin the fall so there isn't much
hunting required. I've watched it and it is pretty gruesome watching a full grown stag with broken legs getting ripped apart by lions. Its obviously done just to get more people with bloodlust into the zoo.
I've also watched Okinawan bullfighting where the bulls fight each other to the death which was also pretty grim.

In all honesty, this doesn't bother me quite so much. It is the weak, injured, old and sick that are culled from the herd in the wild. Granted, a stag in his prime wouldn't normally be taken down in the wild, but nature is pretty gruesome in some aspects. Predators don't kill for sport; they kill to live. It isn't pretty, it normally isn't a quick kill, and it isn't done in malice. I do believe you're right though,that it is done to attract people who just want to see an animal torn to shreds. I don't mind seeing kills being made in the wild on documentaries that I watch. But just to see it because you want to see an animal ripped apart is disgusting.

Bullfighting anywhere is repulsive, abusive and stupid. It is not a sport, it is torture made into a spectator "sport". The running of the bulls is about the most moronic thing anyone ever dreamt up. When people get killed during thisheinous displaythey deserve it. Human vs. a 1200 pound bull......the bull is going to get someone. I hope he takes out a whole shitload of them.
Dickheads that do the pampalona bull run probably don't realise that all the bulls that take place in the run are killed in the bullring that night. Whenever I see it on TV I am always routing for the bulls, poor buggers.
Of course in Spain it is also
traditionto throw a poor bloody donkey from a church steeple !
