Thanks, Jim, you summed up, more or less, what I feel.

I included poaching because, today, there are many people who feel that it is a despicable crime (local landowners round me, for instance, who still occupy 'enclosed' land and use it for private shooting parties). There are, on the other hand, organised gangs of poachers who reek havoc on the land and rivers.

Dog-fighting and badger-baiting still exist. It's often organised and supported by the hunting fraternity. I know, from personal expertience in trying to stop this, just how incredibly violent these people can be.
