That's very true of course Dave. I live in a farming area, and culling deer (who are becoming a nuisance due to lack of natural predators) who kill saplings, foxes who attack poultry and young lambs, rats who carry disease and so on is quite acceptable round here.

I also like eating meat.

But I know that I could never hide or track, lift a gun and end the life of some beautiful creature such as a moose just for the pleasure of watching it fall.

I was incandescent when some clown (sorry, but I think he may have been an American) felled that lovely lion with a black mane in Africa not so long ago. Trophy hunting.
