[QUOTE="Hampton, post: 6852644, member: 6937"] I love shooting game, it’s my passion, but you are looking at it through rose tinted specs. I edited my last post with regards to a pheasants life and think it is apt in this point. I’m fully aware that not all farms are perfect, but I also know how gamekeepers work. I can tell you that the best game rearers in this area tend to be diversified farmers as they understand livestock. It’s also common knowledge that stressed livestock don’t fatten in the same way stressed crops don’t yield which is why all farmers should aim for the highest welfare they can. Again, I reiterate, your arguments on pheasants being high welfare appears to be totally related to the fact they are “free”. This is despite that fact that thousands are reared together before being moved to release pens. They are then repeatedly chased by dogs and shot at. At the end of the season, if they are still alive, the males are rifled from their roosts and the hens are rounded up for laying. Sounds like a fantastic life! [/QUOTE]
