From the Christian Science Monitor, a report on live online hunting. It sounds like a video game – you sit behind your desk, use your mouse to aim at animals on a computer screen and then click to fire – but in the case of Texas-based Live-Shot.com the gunfire, antelope and wild boar are all real. If your bullets hit your prey, the animal dies.
The company claims it is allowing disabled people the chance to hunt but critics have labelled it pay-per-view slaughter. It feels a long time since personal banking was at the cutting edge of the net. Doubly so for the animals at the other end of it.
