I agree with Tore. You could argue that the end result is the same but i i think there is a huge difference between killing animals for produce and killing animals for sport.

Ive said already that i think its perfectly natural for humans, as animals, to eat other animals and so yeah, id have to say that i support the killing of animals to an extent.

However i once shared a flat with a mate of mine who told me one day that he supported hunting and that it should be protected. I asked him why and he said because it is a "great British tradition."

Now as much as i would love to argue with that, hes actually right. Hunting is a British tradition. It shouldnt be, it should be illegal. Killing animals for sport is barbaric and doesnt serve a purpose. No one is benefiting from it at all apart from a bunch of upper class, wine-tasting, cheese-eating, fur-wearing, stuck up toffs who think its not only fun but their right to hunt and kill for fun.

If no one is benefiting from the death of an animal, then it shouldnt be happening.
