Is It Because We're British That We Can't Understand This?

Is it the grins?

Or the pride that they obviously feel in slaughtering something that is so much more beautiful than they can ever be?

The still plenty of Brits that go on organised safari shoots, and not with cameras

[Prudie]

There are plenty of Brits who enjoy this barbarism, probably partly because they were brought up to it however I doubt there's a British person stupid enough to include their tendencies as part of some leadership campaign. They'd know it would be a death knell.

[jambutty]

I don't care what nationality they are, I hate ANYONE who kills big game like this for fun !

I've nearly put myself through the windscreen several times recently in order to miss grouse etc.



Should I start my own thread on women drivers or ...

[hc4361]

Of course, the irony is if there were no hunting and shooting in the UK, the grouse wouldn't be there to put drivers in peril

[Prudie]

There is also a different slant on the morality of hunting in the UK where most quarry is bred for purpose or considered vermin and killing endangered species in Africa.

[anotheoldgit]

There are many Africans who are slaughtering their animals on a wide scale simply for gain.

[hc4361]

Prudie, many big game hunters argue that it is necessary for conservation and management

If these 'so called' brave men had killed this cat in hand to hand, I would say, that's fair enough, but shooting it from afar, is because they are cowards, and enjoy hurting and killing something that can't fight back.

ummm...from memory, the Royals are said to like to hunt foxes, and deer.

We crossed in the post Baldric !

[sp1814]

I bet there are far fewer (in percentage terms) Brits who support big game hunting.

We've gone past that.
