Death to all squirrels

Hope that's not squirrel popcorn now

Well, I don't run around in camo gear shouting yeehaaaa while killing fwuffy wuffy bunnies if that's what you mean

OK, here is a real life example. In my daughter's horse field, the rabbits have to be disposed of. Horse steps in a rabbit hole, horse fractures leg, high percentage chance of horse being put down. So the rabbits get cleared. You can pretty much say the same for every field in the country. So if you consider shooting rabbits for that reason to be 'fun', then yes, I kill animals for fun.

Another example, local farmer keeps free range ducks and chickens. Any hint of foxes in the area (relatively rare here), and he goes out looking for them. He'll maybe give me a call and ask me to go out with him, which I will.

So, I don't go out to kill things to make necklaces out of their teeth and tell people about it in the pub. I do the occasional bit of 'pest control' and that will include squirrels, rabbits, rats, pigeons, foxes, deer (among other things).

It sounds as if you combine killing animals with a job, for food and, primarily, fun.

You think you've a problem with rabbits? What about India where the natives get eaten by tigers. An endangered and protected species. That's a problem.

Feck me, it's like a tree huggers love in around here......

Ever shot something big?

When you say big, how big? I shot something that was about 5ft 7" and 700 yards away, does that count as big?

No, it's not a job and I generally don't do it for food, although the odd pigeon kebab or fluffy bunny curry is alright

I don't live in India mate, so it's not a problem to me. How do you suggest the indians deal with it ? Throw it their young to avoid killing a poor animal ?

As long as you ate it afterwards and didn't enjoy it, that would appear to be acceptable

You don't deny you enjoy killing animals, the third list item and the one you have trouble with.

There's no good solution for India's tigers that I know of, except less breeding by Indians. What's your solution?

I think that would make the Elephants happier too.

I do, probably through too much violence on TV and as a result of having him as my childhood hero
