Some "sport" eh :G
Just warning you about the video, I have not watched it simply because I do not want to, only read the article.

No, I didn't feel as if I wanted to watch it.
Hunting is one thing, not my particular bag, but I don't like that at all.

Don't worry too much about watching it. It really shows how bad the practice is - no blood and gore. The only skill is locating the bears den and not having to track or wait for teh bear.
In South Africa there are places that breed lions, then put the partially drugged into an "enclosure" (maybe a 2km square) and with a small radio transmitter.
They then sell take several thousand from the hunter to shoot a lion in the wild ... and guarantee that the hunter will get several opportunities and almost guarantee success. The lions stand no chance and the hunter is being ripped off too.

Didn't watch it - I can imagine...
On the plus side; at least it has been officially banned...
