[QUOTE="kiwi pom, post: 5832408, member: 946"] I think its a hard "sport" to justify, Fox/rabbit/mink hunting whether people agree with it or not is a pest control service and- even though a large part of the population would be outraged- you could chuck badgers in with them too. Plenty of other sports or hunts serve a purpose too, pig hunting is popular round here and helps keep the population down and of course people tend to eat the fish they catch or at least throw them back. What's the purpose of pheasant shoots? it keeps a few people in jobs, ok but what else? Its just people with money paying someone to rear a bird that wouldn't be nearly as common (or a problem) without the shoot and then standing around and shooting them- when someone else 'puts them up' for them- and then having no interest in the bird they shot. You could pay someone to fire clays out of a wood and it would be the same thing. I don't have a problem with farmers walking their hedge lines with dogs and shooting the odd one but these huge shoots are just wrong and will I think eventually ruin it for everyone else. [/QUOTE]
