    “Hunters”; that use a literal scattergun to murder animals because they lack the skill to succeed with anything less should be shamed as the pathetic little cowards they are.

    If the hunting isn’t about the murder, prove it, and use a more discriminating weapon to do the job and only harm what you intend to kill and eat.

      That’s what confused me too, if you use lead ammunition, how are you going to eat what you kill? I live in an area where trapping is more common so forgive the inquiry, the use of lead bullets has always confused me.

        It’s eaten anyway. I’ve watched people spit the shot into an ashtray and carry on eating the rabbit pie. It was a while ago, when I was a wee bairn, but I know full well there are those in my hometown that still do this.

        Not enough to account for the sheer, balls-out stupidity of voting to quit the EU when your specific area receives a notable amount (one of the highest in the EU, no less) of funding from said organisation to help regenerate the area.

        Intelligence isn’t highly rated in these areas, so it’s hard to tell cause from effect here.
