ah, all very interesting, in reply to Airhead questioning the use of the word cruel, its because i have opinions like everyone and a lot of bloodsports ie fox hunting, badgerbaiting ect, are, in my humble opinion CRUEL, given we are supposed to be an intellagent race we perhaps should know better, however Gaina put it perfectly, predator and prey, falcons hunting rabbits ect is how nature intended, so i find it more natural, hence more acceptable.
