No not banned. That is too subtle, the intention is to follow your violent example. A Bill is to be proposed that will arm the animals and enable them to shoot back.

Flocks of pheasants (bread especially for the purpose) wearing Barbour jackets and green wellies will descend upon the southern cities for the weekend to seek you out - and try to kill you for sport.

On the first of the season - grouse will sportingly drive tanks into the northern cities to see how many of you they can bag.

Every other clay pigeon will contain be a cluster bomb.

This will cull a quite a few and the thought is that by making the whole thing more of a fair contest it may discourage others from taking it up.

Everyone else can then spend nice weekends in the country free from explosions and bloodlust.
