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).
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.Comment

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 ?When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment

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