Precisely...that's what businesses do...they make a profit. Hence capitalism.

If you let the government step in and shut these operations down, you're going to give the freaks in PETA the spark they need to get in the government's ear about shutting down other activities we enjoy. Imagine this...the government comes in and shuts down high fence operations under the premise that there is no "fair chase" involved in the sport. Now we've got a "fair chase" precedent that the eco-freaks and PETA goons are going to call on the government to follow. Next thing you know, food plots are going to be banned because we're baiting the deer in. Fishing at Two Rivers will be banned because there are auto feeders there. Nobody will be able to use bait to lure a black bear within bow range anymore. Don't even think about chumming the waters around you anymore to bring fish in.

If they're going to go out of business, let them do it on their own through crappy business practices. The government is not the dance partner sportsmen want for this tango.
