As an animal lover i find this disgusting, just like fox hunting here in the uk i dont get why grown men find it appealing to kill defenceless animals just for the fun of it,dont get me wrong i ain't a vegetrarian i love a good steak, but as my grandad always says 'only kill an animal if your going to eat it' to kill just for fun makes me sick, even worse is when these hunters pay big money to travel to special reserves in africa to kill big cats, rhinos & elephants, honestly if i saw someone about to pull that trigger i would see it as justified to hospitalise the c**t, it makes my blood boil just thinking about it

I live in the UK countryside and there is a huge farm close by with 6 young farm daughters in the family, anyway that's besides the point. The farm offer pheasant shooting and people come here and pay shed loads of money to shoot. They are allowed to keep half what they shoot and the rest goes to Holland and they are reared for this purpose. I have nothing against this but it's often people who live in the city who are first with the proverbial kneejerk reaction when it comes to hunting or animal control in the countryside, miles away from where they live. There's a great deal of Deer in my area too and are shot to control numbers, there is no other better way to do it.

I used to be a 12 bore gun owner and went hunting in my area in Somerset. I switched over to clay pigeon shooting (trap shooting) over the years and no longer hunt. Although I could shoot an animal again and prepare it to eat, it pisses me off when meat eaters can't or squirm watching a scene from an abattoir. for instance, but will happily eat meat regardless.

I take it a step further than your Grandad, if you wouldn't kill it, don't eat it. Grew up just outside a city, in a quiet little village, and knew the local farmers, and some of my family used to keep animals, I can snap a chickens neck, so I'm allowed to eat chicken To be honest, although I eat a mainly vegetarian diet, I still love to eat meat, but feel if you don't have the kahoona's to kill it, you shouldn't eat it

Is popoulation control a valid reason to shoot an animal? To keep it's numbers in check? Well if that's the case, I'm take an uzi out in london, because that place is way too muther-fucking crowded, there are too many people there, their numbers need to be controlled. Oh wait, but they're humans not animals, last time I checked, we were animals too.

If it wasn't for the fact that there are too many humans, and we have spread ourselves over too much space, we wouldn't have overpopulation of animals. How can I say that? Well firstly we have used up all their space, and secondly, if it wasn't for our aggressive methods of wastage and mindless killing in the first place, the animals would never have evolved the need to produce so rapidly, so again, this is all the humans fault, and the animal gets it. It's all bullshit. Let's wipeout 20% of the human population and try and self control our own numbers, rather than blaming the animals...

Ohhh look at me posting my opinions again, fights are sure to erupt

In fact, I've just thought, I know how to trim the human population a bit...

(Exits and devises a way to start the tried and tested way of human self culling, or WWIII as it would be called )

I can watch people fight and hurt each other no problem.
I can't stand cruelty to animals, yes i'm a vegee.
I once slapped an old French man in Gibralter for hitting an ape with his walking stick.
Don't get me started on this subject.
Human culling cool all the right handed people to go first and leave the rationals to sort out the worlds population.

if you read the post it said i dont have a problem with killing to EAT an animal & i have killed rabbits with my air rifle & in rural cyprus watched 4pigs being slaughtered in the back of a pick-up(a horrible scene, ive watched gordon ramsays shows when they kill in an abbatoir, trust me thats nothing compared to this)but it was all to eat.i would happily kill to EAT,but not get dressed up in some fancy red clothes just because i live in the countryside &claim anyone who doesn't live in the sticks dont understand, for a nice day out, what possible explanation is there for going into the mountains of rural montana to kill a wolf with a rifle, if they are such toughguys why not try killing with a knife or are they scared they might get bit.

IMO, the human population didn't evolve into intelligent beings by being vegetarian plankton eaters, lol. I am in no way having a go at vegetarians, I lived with two while at college and used to fry my bacon and then touch the spatula onto their veggie food, in front of them and they wouldn't eat it, what a laugh! But seriously, meat in moderation is something I simply can't do without and vegetarianism is not for me but have no problems with people who are, although I could never live with one again, if I'm honest.

EDIT- replied at the same time there, should have quoted the message one above this one

Had an ex-girlfriend who attended the big hunt, all dressed up in the gear, etc. I agree with you in some aspects, fox hunting on horse back is barbaric and a bit unecessary, however the fox needs to be controlled. The animal will happily break into a chicken enclosure, eat just one, but will proceed to kill the rest regardless. I think it should be shot, not hunted by hounds if an area becomes problematic with them.

i live near this area and i find it absurd. iv never been a fan of hunting even when the foods getting eaten(although it makes it slightly more reaosnable if it is indeed for food). hunting here seems to be a big redneck activity. they get testy if you bring up how you dont like hunting or guns.

i shouldn't say much though as i love fishing...both freshwater and saltwater. im a catch and release guy though.

Now thats the best idea i've heard in a long time

Yeah human meat, the other white meat taste like chicken nice and ,yummy goes good with red wine Cops taste like pork and doughnuts very tasty but do not eat too much as it is fatty food. Rember you are what you eat Ps stay away from the vegans too skinny and they all have and off taste like brussel sprouts

Some of my friends think that hunters tend to be small minded cunts, and then some of my friends think that they are in-bred mono-browed fuckers.
I think that they are small minded in-bred mono-browed fucker cunts and this bitch is a perfect example.
