Ouch...that must have been a bad fall not to be able to walk for 4 days. I walked away from my leap, was just a bit dusty and gave mum a few more grey hairs...
Worst accident lve had is jumping off a bolting horse but had a soft landing in a big pile of oats... Probably a stupid thing to say but havnt broken any bones....touch wood...
If it is necesary to cull thats fine but get the right people to do it it rangers ect. Its wrong to kill an animal for the joy of it and thats what these millionaires are doing. Gone are the days when man has to go out and hunt for his food. If man still had that mentality he should still be living in the bush with the animals. What is to stop these millionaires from just donating money? Yes our predecessors are probably responseable for some animals being extinct...but they did it to survive, they didnt have supermarkets or herds of livestock then. How can anyone get pleasure out of killing or watching a frightened animal die?
