Money-grubber Farage?

In the context of the stats you provided on recreational hunting I think the statement on hunting on a discussion forum was absolutely fine.

Oh, I thought I was on my own with my unrequited love.

Hands off MissAdventure and Petra! You are definitely not on your own.

At Dunrobin Castle there is a museum of everything that the Duchess of Sutherland shot. It ranges from an elephant foot to a kingfisher - trophy hunting of the worst kind. Not surprised that her stepsons threw her out when the Duke died - though I suspect they were not much better (just over a hundred years ago).

Invasive species are allowed to be controlled though, grey squirrels, muntjac deer, American mink all through a specific legislation. Foxes are a native species to the uk so different rules apply. Control measures of invasive species means control in the most humane way, not cruelty

I doubt very strongly that the Duchess's stepsons 'threw her out' 100 years ago because of her trophy hunting propensities.

Trophy hunting was commonplace among the aristocracy and the wealthy...
