At ranches catering to big-game enthusiasts, hunters can shoot exotic species 
native to five continents — everything from addax to zebra. "Tired of 
traveling, spending money and coming home with nothing to show for it?" reads an 
advertisement on the Web site for Old Stone Fence Hunting Adventures in Rensselaer 
Falls, N.Y. "Book your successful trophy hunt today! . . . No license 
required; no harvest — no charge." Though enterprises like this claim to offer "fair 
chase" hunts, the promise is hollow, since the animals are confined in fences 
and the money changes hands only if the hunter gets a trophy.

"As custodians of the planet it is our responsibility to deal with all 
species with kindness, love, and compassion. That these animals suffer through human 
cruelty is beyond understanding. Please help to stop this madness."
-- Richard Gere
