|  Web site for hunting poses questions about killing Here's an article where the writer claims that "if killing animals for sport is a legitimate practice, then killing them via the Internet is, too." I would have to disagree with that, but what do you think? http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercu...n/12216244.htm |

| The author has a good point. It isn't hunting, and I'd argue anyone who tries to say that it is. But killing an animal over the Internet is no different than killing an animal from a treestand. Near as I can tell, they're being killed humanely in both instances and, of course, the bottom line is they're both being KILLED. Is killing an animal right or wrong? That, to me, is the important question. I'm not sure the means of killing an animal, so long as it is legal and does not inflict undue suffering, is the most important issue.

| Yes I guess it is the way it was presented. I was thinking more a long the lines of legitimate hunting, rather than legitimate killing. You could debate this for quite a long time I'm sure and get many different views from hunters. |
