| Re: Hunting: From the hunters view
Does photography contribute millions of pounds to the rural economy, directly funding habitat creation, management and improvement on a massive percentage of the UK?
Does photography prevent endangered species from being predated by foxes and carrion crows?
Does it protect woodland from being cleared for agriculture or housing?
Does it prevent deer from suffering a long drawn out death over a period of weeks because they're old and have no teeth, so can't feed, but have no predators to hasten their departure? I think not.
As for saying that wildfowlers dump a lot of what they shoot, I would like to see some evidence, as 'fowlers are the least likely of all shooters to do so (it is certainly not common practice in other fields of shooting either but I concede that there are some bad apples, as in all aspects of life).
People should research the facts of subjects they're planning to comment on before posting based on hearsay and prejudice.
