i was out shooting pheasants all yesterday and i enjoyed it,
i'm no axe murderer but i paid for it and all the pheasants had been bred for was to be shot and we brought home 3 brace of them cause they taste fooking nice!

we saw a deer there and it was nice to see but there was ONLY 1 start seeing more than 10 or whatever they need sorting out,
like rabbits in the 70's *i think* the government virtually gave out shotgun cartridges for free to sort out the number of those, because of this we have such a healthy countryside and not an over-ridden problem with rabbits.

So culling animals is tried and tested mate, and it works by the looks of things
