Canned hunting is a commercial business on private land charging hunters a fee for killing captive animals in an enclosure. Canned hunting started in North America in the 1960s. Canned hunting also advertised under a variety of names such as ‘hunting preserves’, ‘game ranches’, or ‘shooting preserves’. A canned hunt takes place on a fenced piece of private property where a hunter can pay a fee to shoot a captive animal.
