There were hunting rifles in the 13th century? Wow, must read up on my history.

Twunts will be twunts.
Fishing is tricky as, of course, they can generally be put back to carry on with their life and aren't as smart as mammals. Between that and their short memories it's tempting to say that it's okay but, to be honest, it isn't, at least for recreation.
Once a fox has been killed to satisfy the blood-lust of a bunch of Hooray Henries on horseback however it's a slightly different equation.
Hooray Henry hunting I can, however, get on board with.
EDIT: I should add that I'm also in favour of a ban on hunting rifles / shotguns without a damn good reason to own one. I don't consider the view that shooting largely defenceless animals is an essential pre- or post-getting hammered on champagne and gin on a weekend activity as a damn good reason. A good quantity of the twunts who engage in such behaviour likely spend the majority of their waking time in urban environments and are about as rural as I am.
Well, those who didn't inherit half the country do, as they may actually have to work for a living. Albeit in a job that pays a ton but they are completely inept in that mummy/daddy got for them post-public school.
Now
that is class warfare
