one particular case was when Paul macarteney bought a wood in devon then fenced it in to keep the deer in so that the stag hounds couldnt hunt them. the end result of that little escapade was the deer bred and litteraly ate themselves out of house and home. this resulted in all the deer being emaciated and quite a lot died of starvation. for centuries there had been a sustainable deer population in that area all fit and healthy. but because macarteney is anti hunt he caused unnecasary suffering on animals because he is ignorant of life in the country.
why dont you read the link I have posted,you may them understand what culling is all about,nothing is wated unless the animal is of poor condition or has a disease it wont enter the food chain,the culling od deer has strict guide lines and there is also seasons when certain speices can or cannot be shot,its not just a free for all,The number of deer in theis country is strictly monitered in England and Scotland read the link it may surprize you whay a bit if knowlage will do.Yes i shoot for sport and ir can cost a lot of money this money is put back into the estates and gives someone a living also deer produces money for the tourist industry as many ober sea hunters visit the UK every year to hunt deer.
You have little knowlage of this sport/culling so your posting are un justfied,please read a little to help you understand.
