Foul Move
The European Union Parliament will reportedly take up a bill that will require wild game to be certified as fit and healthy before it is shot. It would also have to be examined by a veterinarian after it is shot to make sure there are no "abnormalities." Hunters say the first requirement is pretty much impossible; it is wild game, after all. And the second would be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming.

Yes! Now it all makes sense. I saw a whitetail deer on a treadmill the other day slurping down a low carb beverage.(white tail are known to be quite lean) And then there was some guy in blaze orange taking it's blood pressure.

Yes, I think that was the one, where they are running around giving them birthcontrol.

How do they plan to determine the 'fitness' of the animals?
