You probably wouldn't understands all the protests about hunting either then.
Very many people here are against both.

Re: Would you wear fur ?
I was left a lot of fur coats by my Mother, really lovely ones & good quality.I love look of fur and the feel on a cold Winters day, nothing to beat it.Sad to say, I would not wear them for fear of snide comments. The only thing is that we have a lot of Poles moved into the area, who are used to cold Winters, so don them quite happily.
So I may be in good company.

Those peoples, where it is part of their culture to hunt to feed themselves and also use the rest of the animal for making clothing, tools etc instead of wasting it are poles apart from recreational hunters. The Laps are a prime example - they travel with the reindeer herds and only take enough of the animals they need to live.

I personally don't shoot or fish, but I have many friends who do, but also only shoot or catch what they will eat or know of someone who will eat it - me for example
They have no need to shoot or fish to feed themselves, theres a Tesco in town after all, but they enjoy the sport of it
One of the most popular charity nights at my local is Game Night, the gun clubs supply the catch and tickets sell very fast

Well said Judd. That is how I feel too, only you said it much better.

Nothing wrong with that, at least they aren't leaving a large part of the catch to rot somewhere or killing animals just for the sake of it.
