This year the 'Glorious' twelfth fell on a Sunday and it's not considered the done thing to murder on the Sabbath. Today the 'guns' will be out and thousands of grouse will be smashed out of the sky. So many birds have been bred to 'satisify' the annual killing frenzy that even the filthy rich can't eat them all and the dead flocks will just be buried at the killing fields.

I agree with you, there are so many cruel acts towards animals usually under the pretence of "so called" sport.
Would.nt it be great if the animals could reverse the roll and have a day of killing humans, now that would be worth watching !!!!

First of all grouse are not bred as gun fodder. Unfortunately it would seem that many human beings are, or are used as such.
Barbarism, according to the OED, means to speak or behave like a foreigner. So I must be a barbarian. Most of the time I speak a foreign language and I eat foreign food, usually Indian or Chinese. Most of my friends and relations are not Brits, not Europeans and not Christians. How 'Barbarian' can you get?
I prefer to worry about persecuted people in this oh so civilised world who are hunted down and killed like sparrows.

I personally think that we should put and end to hunting.
Especially with a bow and arrow. We saw lots of deer slowly die with arrows in them. They get away only to slowly die a very painful death. The men who shoot them you can hear them cheer for miles. We have rescued some and hide them until deer season is over.
They shoot squirrels, rabbits and anything that moves just for fun while they are on deer hunting trips.
We find multilated bear and possoms they let the dogs tear to pieces for fun. Do we really have to do that?

So it's fair to say your not an Aristo then. Don't worry when the Glorious Revolution comes you can sit next to me with your knitting.

I will never understand it. Sadly there is no shortage of these people who love the 'tradition' of killing sentient beings for 'sport' or whatever.
A life is a life, in my opinion. Maiming an innocent being for fun is inexcusable.

How can i disagree ? These cowardly wankers (yes, wankers) who shoot grouse for 'sport' are beneath contempt.
I can only take comfort in the fact that ONE day they'll need to explain their actions. Until then.....

If only people cared this much about the unborn. Abortion should be the first thing to stop if we are to end the barbarism.

if you are correct you will be able to protest on a righteously full stomach.
i don't see a problem, it's only the food waste that makes it look problematic and since that is a problem the entire globe faces as we see our fellow men die of hunger, i dont't think a valid point is able to be made.
This is the killing of foods, this is not akin to vivisection or animal testing!
