    I have just seen this on BBC and thought of you guys, its a tough call. On one hand they're keeping dying species alive but on the other hand they're shooting semi-domesticated animals.

    What do you think

    Also known as "Canned Hunting".Basically taking the hassle and expense out of a long and annoying safari to points remote in the world,where there may or may not be a chance of getting a trophy animal.It is providing a service for "hunters" whose big thing is boasting about how much this trophy cost them,without going thru the exertion,the chase and all the remainder of it to get that trophy. Ok it is supposedly perserving species,but to the point that they are almost tame???Whats the challenge??Would be more in favour of remote control rifle hunting myself.Not my cup of tea anyway.:(
