Citing that hunters can’t be called “normal” because they “feel pleasure when they kill animals” and that hunting is unnecessary and immoral, MP Oleg Mikheyev of the center-left Fair Russia parliamentary party has entered a draft law for preliminary discussion that will ban hunting.

Mikheyev’s proposed law would ban hunting by anyone other than indigenous peoples in remote regions and certified rangers. In a press interview with the RT, Mikheyev pontificated, “What many people call hunting now is more of a cruel killing that has nothing in common with the ancient art of fair competition between a man and a beast.”

Hunters from around the country are planning to boycott Colorado after the state passed stricter gun control legislation last week. "Republican opponents of the new background-check law said it would make criminals of hunters lending each other [guns] for weekend hunting trips. In response, Democrats changed the bill to give people a 72-hour grace period to share guns without triggering background-check requirements. Republicans then complained the bill would imperil weeklong hunting trips," according to the Associated Press.

And the backlash has begun. Outfitters have reported a flood of trip cancelations from out-of-state hunters and Michael Bane, a producer for the Outdoor Channel, said he would no longer film his four shows in Colorado.

Long known as the playground for the rich and famous, the United Arab Emirates is about to add another group to its impressive list of tourists: hunters.

This September the Barari Hunting Resort will open to hunters seeking to take oryx, gazelle, and deer. Hunters will also have the possibility of taking certain bird species. The resort is actually located near Al-Ain, the second largest city in the capital Abu Dhabi, and is owned by the Abu-Dhabi based Mourouj Hotels and Resorts. 

A Colorado Springs man was left petless and heartbroken following a cougar attack last week in a gated community on the city’s southwest side.

The pet owner was walking his dachshund when a large mountain lion burst from the bushes and snatched up the dog.  The cat fled just as quickly as it appeared to thick cover where it ate the dog. Parks and Wildlife agents eventually caught and euthanized the offending cat, but the dachshund attack was not an isolated incident.
