We kill animals for food we have canine teeth were designed to eat meat as well as veg, but were the only species who kill for pleasure and call it sport as if that excuses it, we breed birds so we can shoot them and should the fox do what comes naturally and dare to sample some of these birds well they can damn well have it too. We should not hunt animals for pleasure
I have mixed feelings about this debate, however, what about dogs chasing squirels, for one example, they are not ‘hunting’ them for food?!!

quote]squirel pie one of me favourites
the season is all but over
last chance to go visit some real country side funTHE number of birds of prey being poisoned in Scotland has risen by more than a third over the past year, new figures have revealed.
Golden eagles and buzzards were among 27 birds killed in 22 recorded poisoning incidents in 2009, according to new figures from the Scottish Government.
New maps showing hotspots for raptor persecution show many of the deaths are centred around the parts of Scotland popular for shooting estates. The death toll marks a return to levels of 2007 after a drop in 2008 to 16 poisoned birds of prey.
Roseanna Cunningham, environment minister, said: “These figures are a wake-up call to those who thought bird poisonings were on the wane.”
The dead birds included 19 buzzards, four red kites, two golden eagles, one tawny owl and one sea eagle. Tayside Police recorded the highest number of incidents, with nine confirmed poisonings.
There’s the concern “hunters” have about wildlife
Chirpy chirpy cheap cheap loool
