Virtual hunting isn't virtual--it kills

I just read the most appalling story on Information Week. "Virtual hunting" has become the latest thing. Hunters sit at a computer and point and click to control real guns mounted on platforms aimed at live animals in hunting areas. Cameras are also mounted on the platforms. A hunt done this way just took place in Texas.

Thank God Representative Tom Davis (R-Va) is trying to put a stop to this with bill HR 1558 (Computer-Assisted Remote Hunting Act).
