the biggest difference between stag hunting (as defined above) and dog-fighting is that the stag has a chance of escape. to me, that makes all the difference in the world.


"The stag hunting you describe sounds very unappealing, and I doubt many American hunters would be interested; actually most would be disgusted."

indeed. in fact, most American hunters disapprove of the "hunting" of deer on land thats enclosed (typically by a 10 foot fence). Has to do with the idea of fair chase, i.e. giving the animal a reasonable chance to outwit/escape the hunter. also, such "farm hunting" is considered the option of bad hunters with more money than skill/brains.
