Soon you could go hunting via the net.

A Texas company is considering letting web users use a remote-controlled rifle to shoot down deer, antelope and wild pigs.

Views anyone?

What is it with yanks and shooting things

I think this must cater for the really fat people that dont get to kill stuff because they cant get out their bedroom door.

If there is one thing i hate about that country the other side of the atlantic, it is their total disregard for life, beit Iraq's in Fallujah who get vapourised by artillery, or an innocent deer in Texas. Amercians think they are all powerful simply because they have a weapon, and for the lazy fat nation that is the USA to think of something like this is just typical.

Whatever happened to Survival of the fittest? It has now turned into, Survival of the being who has the biggest, badest weapon system.

I have a firm belief that any animal that is killed by a human should be delt with by the person who shot it. For example, if you kill a deer, or a sheep, you should skin, gut and prepare it for either your own use, or to perhaps sell to a buchers or something. To kill simply for fun, or sport is very wrong indeed especially if you are going to discard the animal you have just shot, by clicking on a mouse in your computer room at home in New York or wherever. I also agree that, if an animal population in a certain area or on certain land has increased which could cause problems to the land owner, that land owner is allowed to cut back the numbers of animals in that area, providing they dispose of carcuses correctly.

Perhaps we should go and hunt down the people who do online hunting, and see how they like it

What are they going do, tie it up or some thing. To hit a moving target your responses have to be pretty good any way, let alone with the delays you get on the INTERNET. Now what would happen if shot some one by mistake, what charges would you face. Would you be tried by INTERNET, may be they could hold a poll on Military Forums, question, if you find this person guilty, do want shot, hung burnt at the stake, or shagged to to death with the wrong end of a pineapple, just tick the box.
Well it's a thought.

Very good Tab, except, if that happened in our country; there would be a huge outcry by the b*stard liberal townies who run this country. But then again, they would never allow shooting over the internet in this country in the first place; we can't even do it with dogs, and next will be guns to go.

Appologies for the rant, but i have just watched "Countryfile" on BBC, and they were addressing the issue of the hunting ban, and what effect it will have on the countryside and if hunting with guns will be the next to go.

I think the whole of the Countryside, and anyone who cares about the environment they live in, will be praying that the Conservatives win the next general election and reverse some of these laws made by ignorant interfering politicians and the anti-cruel sports people who call themselves environmentalists.

I wish these people would not interfer and RUIN our way of life, because they simply DO NOT UNDERSTAND. We do not shoot purely for fun. We shoot as part of a managing process of the countryside, to keep certain animal populations down, and we just happen to enjoy it, as well as bringing ALOT of money which is put back into the countryside.

Is everyone who eats meat so naive, or are they just ignorant of the process of putting that beautiful pheasant or duck dish on their table??

I will tell anyone who doesnt know now that in my area there are a number of shoots, some of which i watch, and one i take part in on Boxing Day, and EVERY bird/animal that is killed is bought from the hunt organiser and either sold again to a local buchers shop or taken home for personal consumption.

Thank you for reading as for us country folk this issue is very important as we cannot have politicians ruining our envorinment and messing with our lives. This issue has gone too far already with the ban on hunting with dogs, and it will go further unless something is done about it, or that a Conservative government address the issue and rally support at the next election.

Young James,I would re-think any answer you may consider making to me after those BBC inspired generalisations you just made.
1)We have the upmost regard for life,unless it's French life.
2)The lazy fat nation you describe got you out of a hole twice in the last century(Or maybe your a little young to remember).
3)Survival of the fittest has nothing to do with hunting,It's mostly the winner is the best cammed up and has the better fieldcraft.
As a last shot,The most disgusting game I have seen recently is"Shoot Kennedy"Which allows all you keen young snipers to re-live the assasination of JFK(Look it up,I'm sure it's in one of your history books)
The DVD is made by a Scottish firm.
As an afterthought,yoo dnt spel very wel do yoo.

Have to agree with Wholley, James, chances are that without the USA's help 60 years ago you would be talking in a German accent.

I always read your posts and its not like you to go off on one like that mate.

Fair enough about the American thing, I let the tongue unleash too often on here, I must gain some more self-control.

However, I won't let you get away with telling me how to spell...I have just left school as of yesterday, but I studied Advanced Level English Language for 2 years and I can assure you, any spelling mistakes were from typing too quickly or something, and not because I didn't know how to spell a word. Just because I am young (and/or because I am joining Para reg ), does not mean I am stupid

Another thing, hunting has got something to do with survival of the fittest...those people who go out and hunt are interfering with the animal way of life, the animal way of life being survival of the fittest, which I do not agree with. However, I will only agree with it if (as I explained in my previous post/s) there is a valid reason for it. For example, the management of the countryside, such as in the UK it is essential for some species of animals to be kept at a low population, for example animals that feed on farmers crops need obviously to be either scared away or to be shot; both methods are commonly used. Also, the animal that has been killed for whatever reason, in my opinion, must be dealt with by the person who killed it. So for someone over the Internet to shoot a live deer and then forget all about it is very wrong indeed. That person should either humanely discard that animal, or skin, gut and prepare for personal consumption or for selling to a butchers etc.

It is for those reasons that I do not believe non-countryside people should not be allowed to participate in our way of life just because they like to shoot things. Killing in the countryside has a purpose, and for someone over the Internet to kill an animal for fun (even if the person in Texas thinks the animal needs to be killed) is wrong, because that person on the Internet is not dealing with the animal after it has been killed. He/she is just pulling the trigger.

Those are my thoughts anyway. I do feel very strongly about this issue, especially as our Government is messing with the lives of us country folk.

I have to agree a mate of mine earns a very good living as a farrier (spelling?) the hunt ban means he loses about 80% of his business therefore he no longer will have a business. So much for encouraging rural enterprise

B@stards.

I think the next Coutryside Alliance protest march in London, may be my first ever protest.

Labour cannot get away with buggering up peoples lives, and there will be war if he decides to f@#k around with the country anymore.

Klink Klank. Jerry Springer, was born in England, and spent most of his young life here, so just who is responsible for making him just what he is today, is it America or is it England.

[Chappy]

I dont know, I never seen his early show in England.



The point is that it seems you can’t criticise them, without it being brought up that America 'helped' in the War. It could have been Jerry Springer, Danny DeVito, Garth Brooks, Steven Siegal or Frank Sinatra, that wasnt the point.

Criticizing's fine, but best done with discernment. The only people it's fine to make sweeping generalizations about remain the French, though.
