I too am vehemently against fox and stag hunting, hare coursing, whaling, catching of small birds and murder of siblings and lovers, I don't eat meat either but still sing about them all.

My attitude is 'If it's a good song then sing it', the only reason not to, at least in public, is if it is offensive to large groups of others eg racist songs. days I only sing 'Sally Brown for example, when I'm on my own.
