These animals are locked in enclosed spaces with the hunter outside, and are often shot while eating food provided to them. Canned hunts do not allow for the animal to escape and the "hunter" is guaranteed a kill.
Trophy Hunting exists in the United States too, not just in Africa and exotic jungles. Texas is considering a canned hunting facility if they don't have one already.
