We’ve got them until the beginning of March for the killing of anything and everything, but the badgers, foxes, martens and a whole swathe of other inoffensive animals will be massacred all year round :(

Its a sad and uneducated system that will allow such barbaric behaviour, my neighbour, whilst not unkind people , indeed one who has an overt love of animals will still settle himself on the hill on a June evening and wait, gun loaded and cocked, above the badger sett for them to appear, or at the end of his garden waiting for pigeon and carrion to settle in the field to eat newly planted grain, with the sole intention of mass murder. I have asked why he should want to kill harmless creatures and the only reply is to shrug his shoulders, saying, 'its sont pénibles'. I could cry, I do.
I think all societies are guilty of barbarity towards animals. They just justify it differently depending on whether the mainstream has turned against it. All over the British isles farmers are thrilled that badgers are ‘culled’ for no good scientific reason, and they poison and shoot birds of prey. Hare coursing is barbaric, banned in France, legal in Ireland. The world over, we take out on animals what the law doesn’t let us do to our fellow human beings.
