Innocent animal

BBC TV news started with a hunter in Scotland opening Champagne because he had shot an innocent animal in its natural habitat, and also outwitted the law. I have lived in the countryside all my life and take regular walks with my dog, yet have never seen a fox.

Even if a species were over-populated, the government could provide its own humane methods on control - we do not need vigilante groups of thugs with dogs and guns satisfying their sick need to kill under the guise of a service to the community.
