Thread Name: BS: Hunting banned in England/Wales
Subject: RE: BS: Hunting banned in England/Wales
When Europeans first arrived in Australia they found an isolated pristine environment, perfectly in balance. Nothing needed to be culled. So they introduced foxes.
Hunting for sport is the enjoyment of making something die. It can be excused or hidden or disguised with any number of tangential disclaimers (which may be valid in some other context), but the purpose of hunting is to kill something, and the purpose of hunting for sport is the enjoyment thereof.
