I understand that there's a new online shoot'em application available. You can raise and lower your gun, aim, file, pull the trigger and kill wildlife during a walk in the woods, all without leaving your living room.

It all seems very realistic and that's not a surprise because it IS real. With the use of a robot and a webcam, it's possible to shoot squirrel in the forest. The bang you hear isn't simulated, it's the gun going off. The blood splattered corpse is real ...

I don't know about you, but I was shocked when I first heard this story; whether it's true or a myth I'm not sure, and I don't know if I want to know. Why on earth would anyone put this application together? Apparently, it's all to do with the equality laws, and the need to provide the same opportunities and experiences for disabled people who can't go out hunting as for able bodied people who can. So I guess that someone considers that makes it all right ...
