I hope this is the correct forum to post in. Sorry if I got it wrong.
I have been a gmail user now since it was beta and you had to be invited to have an account.
I have also quite enjoyed sometimes the advertising links that one finds near the top of the gmail page. They are often interesting, such as discovery, and cnn....

However!! I was VERY MUCH OFFENDED to find a link to a hunting site showing at the top of google mail this morning.

That is:

Hunting Newfoundland - www. hunting-newfoundland.com - Black Bear, Trophy Moose, Woodland Caribou hunts and fishing in Nfld

bringing one to this site:
http://www. hunting-newfoundland.com/?gclid=COOl-o-6rZMCFQ8puwodRw9oaw

which brings you to a lovely page with one F***A*** with a dead bear on his lap.
What kind of people are these that find pleasure in bringing about the death of other living beings, when it is not even destined for someones dinner table.... as in, there is absolutely no good reason to be hunting these animals.
I didn't even know it was LEGAL to go around killing bears for ones own sick pleasure. It is almost as bad as the Japanese hunting near extinct whales throughout the ocean for their "scientific research".

What's more, Google is advertising for these Schmuck?
I think the hunting of animals for sport/pleasure is unethical behavior, and therefore also unethical for Google to be advertising their webpage. And I know a lot of people who think the same thing.

Google should consider the ethical nature of the websites they advertise before deciding to associate themselves with them.

Don't you think?
