You say barbaric ! Yet the civilised society is more inclined to have a punch up after a night out , than hunt for its prey for consumption. If you’re gonna be manly & prove your masculinity, you may as well do it for a worthwhile cause & put food on your family’s table .
It’s virtually impossible to buy pheasant, partridge, or other fowl in the city . I wouldn’t kill a cow or sheep unless they were part of my own livestock. Even then I’d take them to be slaughtered at my local abattoir.
As my annual hunt got cancelled this year , I got into a heated debate about the morals of shooting animals , in my case , rabbits or birds, for human consumption. I don’t consider it a sport , like say for example, fishing or fox hunting . It’s a tradition that’s been going on for many years during the festive season . I don’t see it as any different to say , strawberry, or mushroom picking . What’s your thoughts ?
A couple .. a brief encounter and one still ongoing . It just goes to show that if you are willing to branch out & show a bit of adventure ,the sky is the limit .
Work it out . You mentioned that all the good bridges in the USA & England were built by the Irish & I mentioned “I hope they stop building ships “, referring to the titanic . We know Belfast is in Northern Ireland, but it was the Irish was ho built the ship , irrelevant of who ruled the north .
Killing animals for human consumption!
At last, someone with a sensible answer
