I go rabbiting with ferrets every other weekend through the winter, catch 
just enough for me and the ferrets to eat (freezing some as well) and then 
sit down to a rabbit stew / pie / curry / etc happy in the knowledge that the 
meat is organic, free range and humanly dispatched.  As well as getting 
outside and having exercise on clear frosty mornings.  Fantastic.

On a recent holiday in Florida I was really shocked to find our local
Wal-Mart had a huge gun counter.

I know that (some) animals have to be controlled. Hopefully, whenever
possible their remains are used/eaten. Squirrel is on the menu at a few
restaurants down here in Brighton. Is there a reason why we don't eat more
rabbit? The wild ones are too much work for not much meat I guess.

But I personally fail to understand the thrill of killing an animal when
there is no serious need to.

Doing a Google Image Search after typing in 'Big Game Hunting' brings up a
surprising number of surreal - perhaps even perverted images.

Merry Christmas
