Hippy scum take one in the chook with some basic facts and figures:
Outside the context of the Olympics, even shooting using weapons that are still legal in Britain faces strong opposition. Animal-rights groups and environmentalists decry hunting and game shooting as inhumane and a threat to the country’s native fauna—even though some 2m hectares (5m acres) of countryside are actively managed for conservation in order to be suitable for shooting fieldsports, at a cost of £25m ($39m) a year. According to the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust, threatened bird species such as the skylark, lapwing and corn bunting are five times more common on land managed for shooting than they are elsewhere.
