You'll find that most of the hunts these days (including fox hunting before it was banned) was more CHAVS than country people..
As for killing badgers/birds of prey that's an extremely old viewpoint when landowners wanted grouse moors (or other hunting ground) so killed any natural predator like eagles so there was more for them to shoot and badgers were killed for the fact that they carried bovine TB..
These days most badger sets are let be and the only people killing birds are the nutters who seems to think that they look better stuffed and mounted
My own viewpoint is that if you're gonna kill anything then it has to be one of two things.. A pest that damages your livelyhood/health or an animal that you or someone else is gonna eat.. and at that point the killing whether it be pest or food should be by the quickest way possible..
