PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) - Internet hunting will not be coming to
Florida.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission voted
unanimously to outlaw the practice at a meeting today.
Florida is the 35th state to prohibit Internet hunting.
The practice started in Texas several years ago with a Web site
that allowed hunters to shoot captive animals by lining up a shot
on their computer monitor and controlling a gun with their mouse.
The carcass then would be shipped to the customer.
Both hunters' groups and animal rights advocates have opposed
the practice.
The Florida ban goes into effect July 1.
