i like to eat pheasants and rabbits, and i like to shot both, i don't horse ride or fox hunt, but have grown up on farms, its part of life/farm life.
rabbits in an arable field do lots of damage, and if kept unchecked breed like.. well... rabbits and the problem soon gets out of hand. same reason i shoot foxes as well.
you lot probably wouldn't agree with the method of catching magpies either but hey ho
