Game wardens put a stop to canned hunts of even exotic species of deer on game ranches around here-that is not “hunting” in any sense and it is animal cruelty, period. If someone doesn’t have the cojones to hunt an animal-any animal-on its own turf, then they don’t need to hunt at all...
Not my cup of tea either. But I don’t think the game wardens really should be involved with things happening on private land with privately owned animals.

Agree here. There are those who think that it impinges on “freedom”, but doing these things is morally offensive to the vast majority of people. Never mind that it is stupid and wasteful (unless they plan on eating it ALL)...I certainly don’t think that it helps the image of “the ugly American” overseas.
I have read that the Chinese have also cracked down on the rhino horn business for that same reason. They don’t have enough resources to catch everyone, but when they do, punishment is swift and severe.
It’s no more cruel than the way your dinner at a restaurant was procured... or do you think your chicken or cow was running free and was hunted on the open range?
What is cruel about shooting an animal?
It happens hundreds of thousands of times everyday in packing plants.
What is cruel is Game Wardens imposing their world view on private citizens, and using the Power of Big Government to do so, essentially using guns to bring private game reserves to heel.
You don’t see the irony of Government Workers using guns to stop citizens shooting animals?
