Question? Those individuals that find pleasure in shooting living beings > are they going to be satisfied with digital photo substitutes?
A temporary solution while waiting for consciousness to evolve?

>Game hunting. Responsible for countless numbers of

>can be
>controlled. The 'killing' effect removed; the animal

>Rifle.

>Through a tiny digital camera installed in the scope
>of a former
>hunting rifle, the hunter points and shoots, and a
>digital
>photo, with real/superimposed crosshairs is taken and
>stored. A
>battery pack in the shoulder stock runs the devices, a
>compressed air cylinder provides a realistic smoke and
>recoil,
>and the ingenious reloading system where the

>stored in a 10-shot magazine-style memory module.

>The photos are viewed on a computer at base camp

>Photos are

>Although this may seem still like a blood sport, it is

>true way to control game hunting. Human's enjoy the
>thrill of
>hunting, killing, dominating... The SHR provides the
>thrill of
>the hunt, without the conscience/nightmares of
>slaughtering
>innocent animals. Tourists partaking in the 3 day
>guided hunting
>tours are supporting the locals with which they
>live/dine/travel. The impact on the
>environment/ecosystems is
>positive: no destruction, and money going back into
>the land and
>the peoples who own it...
>
>Plans are already in production for peripheral devices
>taken/used on the hunting tours (safer trucks/APCs.
>etc), and
>modifications of the gun for other hunting areas
>(underwater-spearguns, forests-shotguns,
>space-laserguns)

>Help, complaints and any comments welcome. Email:
