Yeah like poxy bloody football,  I dont understand why they have to show so many games of over paid fairies kicking a bag of wind and falling over pretending they are injured, yet rugby we're lucky if they show a couple of games a week

cause rugby is shite..

I got what you meant wrong then, sorry.

Didn’t mean to be too critical of costumes, I just found it funny that people fish for things they won’t eat just as a fun activity.

same as hunting now ... no need for it, you got a Tesco's on every corner now .... just for the warped individuals who like to kill animals

Yeah I have thought about that option, got a couple of links to get one just haven’t got around to it.

Some of what you buy in Tesco has had a pretty shit and short life. Take a look at how chickens are raised for food, it’s pretty grim. 
 

I’d rather eat something which has had a natural life and a quick end if Im honest. People should understand where their food come from and what its been through.

I do not agree at all. Hunting or fishing as a sport has a place if nothing else for culling out of control populations, and more so if the animal is to be eaten and used.

Some supermarket meat has grown for only weeks in a country, slaughtered and disassembled in another, and end up half way around the world. That's complete animal and planet exploitation, and one of the reasons we are doomed as a civilization. Most supermarket generic meat and fish really shouldn´t exist.

Can you read? Lions are not used for food nor are they an out of control population (like deer or boar in some parts of the world)!

Like an animal that wasn't farmed inside a feeding station, that's what he meant.

You and @Six30 sharing the same account?

I don’t think there is a chance of hunting deer or boar replacing factory farming.   There are just too many people on this planet.   It’s not sustainable long term and the future will be unpleasant for the majority of life.  I understand hunting for food but not for entertainment.  Oh and I don’t like factory farming either but don’t claim to have an answer to feed 8 billion people.   It’s one of those subjects most look away from.   Doesn’t justify animal cruelty but there is no easy answer.

I agree, I just said I'm ok with people enjoying hunting animals that need to be hunted and serve as good food.

I didn’t mean that to come across as a pop at you.  I probably worded it clumsily.    Sorry

[Pedro]

I have a cousin that used to be vegan, she'd get in touch with the nature spirits and all that. Then she got together with a farmer and moved to the countryside, and first thought their new neighbor was a murderer for hunting boars. 

Two years later, and after a few times of having wild boars sniffing at her front door trying to get in and she's was on best terms with her neighbor and gets the ocasional boar leg as a thank you for asking him to come to her farm and clear them out 

The number of restaurants serving wild boar meat in rural Portugal is impressive, lately.

No, as above like deer, rabbits, boar, pigeons or such. I’d rather eat a deer or a rabbit which has had a relatively natural life than a supermarket chicken which has lived 6-8 short and shit weeks. I shoot and eat both - they need controlling, and I do it as humanely as I possibly can.

Actually, @boboneleg, the gay tires were literally put on the closed until December or January, by which time they´ll come out
