As humans have modified the environment, the natural predator prey balance has been lost. Like it or not WE are now the apex predator for almost every species.  The decline in song birds for instance is NOT entirely due to domestic cats. Corvids are the worst cause of song bird loss in rural areas, closely followed by grey squirrels.

this is true in the UK.

you really need to import a thousands of foxes and some wolves to but the balance back

127 wow, good job they weren't shooting back!

Some folk keep Lurchers for rabbit and hare they tend to do less damage than a 4/10 or a .22, some idiots use a 12 and then all your doing is removing shot from the meat.

The spinney I shot them is still mine, I did not sell it with the house we just moved from.

The geeza who bought house has been cutting down small trees for his muthuz log burner, he duz not have an open fire.
I warned him to stay out.

Last week we had a offer for said spinney from a developer/builder.

Our son is now applying for planning permission for it, sod the developer.

This the last piece of separate land we have.

I know you are veggie, but everytime anyone of us eats meat, that was also once a lovely little living thing.
