Dick Cheney-Style Hunting . . . 4

. . . doesn’t go down well in Pennsylvania:

Dozens of domestic turkeys were staked to bales of straw and used as live targets at an archery contest, according to authorities who charged a sportsmen’s club with violating animal-cruelty laws.

The birds were secured at their feet but able to flap their wings as participants who paid $12 got three attempts to hit one with an arrow. Those who drew blood won the birds, said Christine Wilson, a Lancaster County assistant district attorney.

    I would pay $12.00 to have 3 shots at the “participants” in this!

    You’re not the Vice President. You would be arrested for shooting someone.

    After my attempts at skeet shooting, I’ve found my aim is ‘slightly’ off. But, I could scare them plenty! They would only be in trouble if they were rolling on the ground, really fast.

    That is, of course, rolling on the ground laughing?
