Your point of view on this issue is borne out of the unique time and place in which you live. Most of the rest of the world simply doesn't see the natural world through such rose-tinted lenses.

As i am sure you are aware from my posts on this forum and in this thread i have always had a dislike of those who kill for fun and sport. So much so when i was 17 i was in front of the beak for adjusting the nose of a person in the old cheshire hunt who attacked me with a riding crop. And yes if i was younger and fitter and the idiot hit me with his crop again i would do the same again. At least his nose looked far worse than mine after i adjusted his for him.

And thats all it is, a fun sport for those that take part.
