There you go, the good statement. Hunting isn't completely necessary in the UK or Ireland, because we don't need it for food or safety reasons. Some people choose to do it and whether or not they should be allowed to is a matter of ethical debate. In many other places, there are more important issues relating to industries, safety and sometimes human survival which does create some need for hunting and the ethics of it shift.
For me, its fair to say that support of hunting in the UK is one way to determine whether somebody is a twat or not (only twats support fox hunting here). Relating opinions on this to other countries and their hunting issues isn't really appropriate though.
