It's still killing. In wildlife hunting animals get away shot fairly often, and die on their own. One tries hard to prevent it, but it happens anyway.
I wouldn't go out of my way to do a pigeon shoot these days, but it doesn't horrify me. We do far worse to our captive animals than target shoot them, on a daily basis.
I personaly find pretend hunting "preserves" used by rich assholes more offensive then pigeon shoots, which don't pretend to be anything but what they are. In the hunting resorts, caged farm-raised quail and pheasants are released in a pretense of wildlife hunting, carefully arranged so that the rich guys can pretend to shoot them like real wild animals.
Now that's fucking creepy.
