canned hunt
Enclosed trophy killing
A canned hunt is a hunt in which the animal has little or no chance of escape—typically confined to an enclosed area, sometimes habituated to humans, or even drugged.
The practice is widely condemned as unsporting and cruel, giving hunters guaranteed kills without genuine pursuit: Trophy hunters pay thousands for canned hunts on private ranches.
