It's so much more rewarding to stalk wildlife with a camera. One has to cultivate skills, know where to find the subjects and learn about their habits and habitats. In our village we have a chap who has a thriving business doing exactly this. His top-quality photos of all sorts of creatures bring him good money. They're used for calendars and adverts etc. And no blood is shed. His 4X4 has a beautiful picture of a barn owl on the side. The Internet is full of criticism of this evil, heartless 'celeb'. It's irrelevant if the animals she killed are indigenous or migrants. Someone who enjoys murdering innocent creatures for pleasure is extremely weird. And in some pictures of her she's holding some sort of crossbow. It's illegal here in UK to hunt with a bow.
