I think dogs and birding are on a completely different level...
What burns me are the game farms where the entire hunt is really a managed affair. Pay your money and get your kill
There's also a good element of emotion involved. Wild game are pretty smart and unless the kill is to sustain your family there should be an element of fairness involved. I really don't see how baiting a bear for a turkey shoot is all that fair, considering the damn bear would have probably sacked your trash barrel had it the opportunity.
