Is the WHA a good idea or bad idea?

I didn't see Absolutely Horrible idea as a choice or I would have chosen it.

I find it repulsive that they would dart animals for money. Is that really necessary? Somehow I feel that the need to shoot is what this is about. What about the animals that may die as a result? I see no need to actually shoot the animals if hunting is what they are displaying. Hell even Bass Masters doesn't put the fish to sleep, they are kept in a live well and later released. I wonder how many bass actually die that we don't know of.

I have an idea. I like photography. Use a camera as the weapon of choice. Limit the participent's to a max 200mm lense, corrected to 200mm for digital and lets see if they can get close enough for a good photo. Bow hunters can, at least good ones. The deer never even have to know your there,they don't have to go thru being darted and being revived. It will take all the skills they have and then some to pull that off.

As it is, Shame on You!

Bad Bad Bad Bad. No good can come from this group! Unbeliveable what they want to do. I like your idea Don.

Its a bad idea!

I also like Don's idea. Hey Farbman are you listening? Its not too late to change your business plan. Bet you would get a lot more supporters if a camera was used vs a tranquilizing dart.

Looks like all the controversy is not stopping the WHA, they're very determined and planning on moving forward.

I find it odd, with the amount of public outcry that a business would continue to plow money into a venture that appears to be doomed.

Does anyone know if WHA has found sponsors or advertisers? You would think with the cash flow drying up that Farbman would be revising his ideas.

I think the hardest thing for me to believe, is that 24% think it is a good idea.
I personally appaled by the very idea of the thing. Shame on You!
