I was living in Dallas, TX back in the mid-1970's when an exclusive gun club there was publicly shamed into giving up its annual pigeon shoot. Give that a passing thought: people in Dallas walked away from the practice, 40 years ago. There's no excuse for this sort of wanton, pointless blood lust at this late date---unless you don't mind the public perception of shooting sports falling into further disrepute.....
