Internet Hunting

A picture named nethunt.jpg A big step towards my dream of American citizens contributing to the GWOT from their very own home computers (pajamas, coffee mug and all) by remote-controlling weaponized robots overseas ...

Live-Shot.com is a Texas-based company that will allow you to hunt live game (antelope, sheep and boar) on the internet by remote-controlling a .22 caliber, camera-guided rifle on their ranch.

From an ethical perspective, this is a splendid advance for equality of opportunity:

We are currently working on a very comfortable, ADA compliant blind which will house the LIVE-SHOT shooting system. Once this and the perimeter fencing are completed, will we be able to offer a unique computer assisted hunting opportunity. Disabled and handicapped hunters, as well as others who would like to try this type of hunting, will be able to use our system.

I have been told that the company will be willing to mount and ship any live game customers manage to shoot in their internet hunts.

[Thanks to SD]

Postscript: How long before Texas sentences criminals to the ranch to be shot via internet connection along with the other wild game?
