Clairey Fairy Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I know. I have no political or intelligent arguments to support my wish for hunting to be made legal.I just know that tearing through the countryside on a horse yelling at the top of your voice is really fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty_82 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 If its killed to be eaten then there is nothing wrong with it, as said its the same as going to the supermarket to get a chicken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one litre wonder ;) Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 true, i totally agree with the only hunt for food part, anymore than that is a waste unless part of pest control, even still its a bit of a waste.
