We like to envision elk living free in the wild, as this bugling bull elk is doing.

We like to think of the great outdoors, and the wild animals that God has given us, such as this bull elk in Jasper National Park.

There is something so endearing about baby animals, that most people want to cuddle them, such as this baby elk living free with his family in the wild.

Reality

(Elk - Canned and Trophy Hunting - 03)  These innocent and tame baby elk are being raised by humans so that when they are older, they will make easy targets for those who lust for blood.  Most of these canned hunting "ranches" also butcher the elk, who flesh can sell for as much as $18.00/lb.  In our opinion, this exorbitant price takes away any excuse that these people only hunt for food, for we know that people can live on a very healthful whole food vegan diet for less than $5.00/day, including gourmet fruits and vegetables.
