Subject: RE: BS: Shooting (hunting) and jobs in the UK
Should I assume from the tenor of your post, GUEST,ibo, that you live in a town?

Whatever. If I were to fence all of my land with 'foxproof' fencing it would mean pulling out the old hedgerows that act as a haven for wildlife and which are several hundred years old (and which, belatedly, are being protected). Do you think I should do this to stop the foxes killing the lambs? (and, on a philosophical note, I would assume that a heathen would not have the concept of hell, so your imprecation is a little assumptive).

I have to say, if the spelling, punctuation and syntax is any guide, the "ignorant, barbaric rabble" seems to be made up of those opposed to hunting, or shooting, or eating meat, or indeed daring to live anywhere that doesn't have a McDonalds and street lighting!

And, Ard Macha, I completely agree - anyone that behaves like that is a disgrace and should be reported to the police and other relevant authorities, and should not be licensed to use firearms. That sort of behaviour is sickening and only serves to tarnish everyone.
