Ok, I'm getting the drift.
You started out with internet hunting - which on the surface seems uncontroversial. How could anyone support that, right?
And then took it a step further to ask - is there any moral or ethical difference between internet hunting and physical hunting.
I believe that there is. The way I view it, hunting over the net is more detached, where physical hunting requires a person to be there, pull the trigger (or whatever), gather the kill, clean it and properly store it. Most people would, by doing that, greater appreciate what it is that they are doing.
I don't believe that hunting is - by definition - immoral. But I do believe that some people do it immorally. I'm just not totally sure where I personally would draw that line - and I'm not even sure a line can be drawn.
