"And it's unspeakably cruel."
Be fair Sen - it might be Theresa May's solution for solving unemployment and the hospital crisis.
Put the sick and idle to work providing their betters with a little entertainment!!
Otherwise - you are quite right - killing for pleasure can never be jusified.
As a young apprentice, I was taken by a tradesman to see a coursing match at Waterloo (Merseyside)
I witnessed 'a string' - two dogs fighting over a live hare intul they had torn in in half, while the crowd stood around betting on which dog would end up with the head end.
I don't know which was more upsetting to experience - the two dogs doing what came naturally to them or the howls of the punters
I've never lost the sound of the tortured animal's shrieks
