I either shoot vermin - which are definitely causing a problem, not just shooting them because I can.

Or I eat what I shoot, sometimes this includes the vermin.

I enjoy the whole process of hunting, something which more primitive societies would still be in tune to. But many of us have lost the 'instinct' to hunt. So be it. If you don't 'get' the idea of respecting an animal and killing it at the same time, then you had better become a vegetarian.

BTW, there are no animals that I do not respect. More than can be said of many 'antis', they'll wail about cruelty and respect for the furry woodland folk and then go to the supermarket and buy some 'cheap' pork or an intensively reared chicken.

Are these people hypocritical or just dumb and ignorant? Or all three?
