Yes, unfortunately, the practice of hunting humans for entertainment, sports, survival, or pleasure has existed throughout history. Although not quite like the kind of hunting shown in this video, some prominent examples include the hunting of lower-class servants by the upper class Sparta elites of Ancient Greece; the hunting of Indigenous peoples in North America during the colonization period; and even the modern-day example of serial killers that hunt victims for their own pleasure. These are all forms of human hunting.
