Jesus – these idiots will do anything to kill:

Louisiana has joined 21 other states in banning Internet hunting, the practice of using a mouse click to kill animals on a distant game farm.

The cyber-shooting idea was the brainchild of Texan John Lockwood, who started the web site Live-Shot.com.

The idea was this: Hunters sign up on the web site and pay some $1,500 or more. They schedule a session, then log on at their appointed time to watch a feeding station on the computer screen. The animal that was ordered—from wild hogs to antelope—is in the area, and when it approaches the food, the hunter moves on-screen crosshairs into place. A click of the mouse fires a rifle to kill the animal.

The armchair hunter’s trophy animal would then be mounted and shipped for display.

Texas outlawed the practice last year.

There are plenty of “you might be a redneck” jokes about hunters, but if you are to damn lazy to go out and do your own killing then you might be a lazy ass redneck. I got to say it is good to see states put a stop to this.
