On the recordFebruary 7, 2005
I rise to introduce the Sportsmanship in Hunting Act of 2005. This bill would prohibit the barbaric and unsporting practice of ``canned hunts.''... Canned hunts cater to persons who lack the time, and sometimes the skill, for normal sports hunting. They do not require skill in tracking or shooting. For a price, many canned hunts guarantee a shooter a kill of the animal of his or her choice.
