KTRV Fox 12 Governor Otter Signs Internet Hunting Ban
Member Center:
Boise, Idaho -- Idaho hunters can no longer get online and shoot animals with the click of a mouse.
Tuesday, Gov. Butch Otter signed legislation that bans the activity known as Internet hunting.
The measure had already passed unanimously in the Senate and by a large majority in the House.
Internet hunting started in Texas back in 2005 when people were allowed to shoot captive animals via a website linked to an exotic game ranch.The hunters were then shipped their trophies in the mail.
The so called "sport" has already been banned in Texas and at least 25 other states.
