I spend a considerable amount of time online since I work in front of a computer. This blog is supposed to basically summarize what i think is interesting. Do with it what you'd like. Ian

Intenet Hunting Continued

So it seems that article that I wrote about a while back is become a more thorny issue. Reprsentative Davis of Virginia has introduced the following bill, HR 1558, http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=109_cong_bills&docid=f:h1558ih.txt.pdf , that seeks to prohibit certain computer-assisted remote hunting, punishable by up to 5 years in the slammer.

I particularly like the definition of this: "...any use of a computer or any other device, equipment, or software, to allow a person remotely to control the aiming and discharge of a weapon so as to kill or injure an animal while not in the physical presence of the targeted animal..."

Here is another article tracking the issue: http://www.internetnews.com/bus-news/article.php/3497821
