The hunting ban did nothing for animal welfare, it behaved exactly as all the solid scientific research said it would.
The hunting ban is a classic example of popular emotion resulting in stupid laws.

Just because something is tradition does not mean it is right or should continue.
I went rabbiting once for rabbits with myxomatosis and its not for me I must say. but I do have a lot of respect for the guys I went with they are very strict! Basically before they took me and my friend out we had to hit targets the size of a P coin between 25- 35 yards and after a few months they thought we were competent enough to go out with them, simply one in the head and when it hits the deck run over and pop off another in the head, clean quick and not CRUEL!

So killing is not cruel if it is done quickly?
Surely not!
I know.. There's even people who go fishing but oppose hunting. These people are retarded..
But it is worrying that there our vocal groups out here, that do want fishing banned
I used to like sea fishing, but I always threw the fish back.
With big holes in the side of their mouths?
I think the point the "green peace" crew are trying to make is that if its pest control, there are more pain free ways of doing it (i.e. gun). Why the 'but we are human and its just nature innit' crew cant realise this, is a harder puzzle to solve.
Personally, I can't really see the difference between this and normal hunting (i.e. horses and dogs vs fox), except for the fact that there are more rats than foxes (I think the hunters classed foxes as 'pests')? So yeah, I think its a bit cruel, so if it was pest control i think a gun would be better and earn more man points too

bullet to the head is probably preferable to dying from myxomatosis .
Yes if it needs to be done!
Read the whole sentence "I went rabbiting once for rabbits with myxomatosis".

Do you work for green peace?
You've had a retort to everything posted in here, including the guy that got thrown in a river for fishing!!
So nothing you do in life has any negative effect on the animal world.
I only threw back the ones too small to eat, the rest I smacked round the head with priest for a nice quick death. Gutted and fed the guts to the seagulls, circle of life and all that....
I know. I just thought I'd be awkward in a thread which doesn't seem to be getting anywhere.
