The Townie Enemy

[sneaky beaky]

90% of the people I speak to every day frown on the idea of shooting fluffy animals - even those who pay huge wads of dosh to go on driven pheasant shoots

Where's the sense in that?

very true, i think we all like to accosiate the countryside with images of green fields, stretches of woodland, rabbits playing and the odd phesant call (aw... pretty) but its the farmers of the land that have to protect from crop damage, pest infestation and disease spreading... pests have to be controlled, rats started a plague, rabbits neary ate australia and the british songbird is on decline from magpieus, magpieus. did you ever see the film where rabbits got into contact with radio-active material and started eating humans... where would we be then (just waiting for the stick)
give us our sport, our profession, and our privacy.

(just my v.h.o)
