    Texas Web site wants to let users click mouse to kill game

    SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Wildlife regulators in California took the first step Tuesday to bar hunters in the state from using the Internet to shoot animals, responding to a Texas Web site that planned to let users fire at real game with the click of a mouse.

    The Fish and Game Commission ordered wildlife officials to prepare emergency regulations to ban the practice. A period of public comment will follow.

    “We don’t think Californians should be able to hunt sitting at their computers at home,” said Steve Martarano, a spokesman for the state Department of Fish and Game.

    A bill passed by the state Senate two weeks ago would prohibit use of computer-assisted hunting sites and ban the import or export of any animal killed using computer-assisted hunting. The measure now moves to the state Assembly.

    At least 14 other states and Congress are considering similar bills.

    Groups including the California Sportsmen’s Association, Safari Club International and the Outdoor Sportsman’s Coalition of California support the ban, saying hunting over the Internet is unethical and unsporting.

    Supporters have suggested the remote hunting could be beneficial for hunters with disabilities and questioned why Californians should be barred from patronizing a legitimate Texas business.

    This is right up there with 'canned hunting', where the "hunter" purchases an exotic, but domesticated animal (like overflow from a zoo, or one of those weirdos who keeps 5 tigers in his NYC apartment), and then opens the cage door and then shoots them.

    Here's an example to start your morning off right: parts 1 and 2

    Remote hunting could be beneficial for hunters with disabilities? This is a joke right? I don't even agree with hunting to begin with. And killing with a click of a mouse has to be one of the most cowardly and outrageous things I've ever heard of.

    Cowardly is right. Hunters are the biggest cowards out there. I was listening to a loud mouth hunter bragging about shooting a deer, and he made the statement that if any of the animals started shooting back, he'd be out of there.

    I made the snide comment to him that as soon as it was a fair fight, he would turn tail and run. He had no real response to that, since he knew it was true.
