Hi. I hate the shooting cretins, who don't even shoot and keep their brace! It often get dumped. The poor birds are often shipped in as chick's too, so have no idea how to survive. When they do get key out, they make it harder for the resident wildlife too, all vying for the same food.
Its only sport if both people choose to play the game!
Tradition..its a cheats way to hide their vile behaviour! We should bring back hanging if they like tradition so much !!??
Hi, I like your post. I too would be vegan if I had a fraction of your determination. When we first moved out of the city, we thought we’d found our forever rural idyll. But I can remember clearly standing in the garden just before Xmas the first year we arrived and listening to a whole morning of shooting. And realising there was a pheasant shoot nearby. (there are actually three). Over time, I have met the owners of this highly lucrative business and also some of the people who do the shooting. They appear perfectly normal and charming. When the pheasants aren’t ready to be shot, the gun owners amuse themselves by shooting deer (totally legal), foxes and even badgers. They always have seemingly plausible reasons for all the killing, mostly along the lines of - “we are providing a service for local farmers “ etc etc. If you fancy a nice lunch in local pubs, expect to see the following: ‘please be aware that some of the meat may contain lead shot’ Says it all really 👀👀👀
I couldn’t agree more !! I have always hated the killing of wild creatures just for so called pleasure, I don’t understand how they can pay hundreds of pounds to stand in a line while someone makes a noise to frighten these creatures toward the waiting guns. I try not to think how confusing and frightening it must be and then the pain if they are not killed. Jan x
