Dev, I do know how to shoot and if I needed I could use one to shoot things but I can manage without it, I feel no need to shoot anything.(Well apart from the odd paper target or can)

I still can't work out if you are threating me or trying to get some point about the need for hunting with dogs or guns.

Tom, you seem to be a serious person from time to time, do you believe that shooting someone (even with just a gentle squeeze of the trigger) is a violent act? Dev here seems to think a bullet to the head is not violent as it will kill straight away.

Wrighty Let me explain my point:

Wild boar were hunted to extinction by Henry VIII. That means that the countryside has been without wild boar for pretty much 500years. The countryside has changed considerably since then. When ever an animal is reintroduced in controlled circumstances it's impact on the environment is carefully managed. Wild boar are very destructive animals and large numbers can seriously damage the balance of rare flora and fauna. Whenever Animal Rights Activists release animals, they are not remotely bothered about the impact their actions have on the surrounding environment. Quite possibly many will starve due to there not being enough food for them. This means that they can not truly claim to be interested in animal welfare. This is why I have no sympathy for Animal Rights Activists. And no I don't hunt. But I'm not a vegetarian and I think boar tastes nice. Does that make me a bad person?

People have been releasing animals into the wild for 100s of years, this has caused the countryside to change and this will keep on happening as the world is a lot smaller now due to transportation.
Different animals have become extinct because of human intervention as well as some becoming "pests" by their introduction into unsuitable ecostructure, many of these by farmers trying to find a cheaper way of production or "pest" control.

As I have said before I think that sometimes the AR activists do make mistakes but at least they do it because thaey are trying to help, not just make a profit.

Out of curiosity, how many boar have been released by AR people and how many released by accident by farmers not following the terms of the licences and not putting up adiquate fencing?

Please excuse my copy paste but some people put it better than I can.
"The wild boar became extinct in Great Britain and Ireland but wild breeding populations have recently returned in some areas following escapes from boar farms."
"Sporadic escapes of captive wild boar have occurred since the 1970's. Early escapes occurred from Wildlife Parks but since the early 1990's more escapes have occurred from farms as wild boar farming has increased in popularity."
No mention of "release".

To your last question, does it make you a bad person? No not really, I have no real problem with people who eat meat (I know it isn't needed these days but one day everyone might understand that) but I wish more would be done about the way animals are bred, raised and killed as the intensive farming of animals STILL needs great improvements.

Oh come on Wrighty are you seriously telling me that if you could get away with cruising the streets with a 9mm handgun and smkoking a few peeps you wouldn't.

I find that somewhat hard to believe.

I would. Only lowlifes and ill people though.

Oh yes, I am always serious and always tell the truth.

And yes, shooting people is violent. You should know that from your work at Credenhill !!

I think you misunderstood me, I don't recall saying I worked at Credenhill, just that the muppet who keeps threatening to shoot me go to Credenhill and tell people there that shooting people isn't a violent act.

"Oh come on Wrighty are you seriously telling me that if you could get away with cruising the streets with a 9mm handgun and smkoking a few peeps you wouldn't."
I'm positive I would be able to resist the urge.
I am not a violent person and have no need to cause harm to anyone or anything.
You're just making yourself sound a little bit strange at the moment.

Tom, once again you misread the thread.
I am nnot calling you strange unless you are posting under another name.
DBS is the strange one but you're now just coming across as someone that doesn't read the comments.
(awaiting your witty comeback or maybe just something else made up)

F***ing Heck, he's gone all gangster now.
It would sound tougher if you didn't say "peeps" though, I think all you mates in the 'hood would laugh at you, like people on here will be.

I very much anyone finds me funny Wrighty old chap.

You have no idea who I am.

Do you know how it feels to shoot someone? Have you ever felt that surge of power? I suspect your life is too banal to have experienced it.

"You have no idea who I am."
True, I have never met anyone called DevilsBitScabious, I'm guessing that it isn't your given name.
Come on, enlighten us who you are, what is the name I should have heard of?

"Do you know how it feels to shoot someone?"
I doubt you're meaning the time I shot my brother by accident with a .22 air rifle. I know it must have hurt him as he ran off to Mum crying and I got told off.
I think I realised then (at 8) it wasn't a good or clever thing to shoot people.

"Have you ever felt that surge of power?"
I have felt the power of different sizes of rifle, gun and pistol but not the "power" you are talking about.
The power of life and death does not turn me on like it seems to do to you.

"I suspect your life is too banal to have experienced it."
Just because I have not gone around shooting people doesn't mean my life is drearily, commonplace and often predictable.
I have the intelect and proper social upbringing not to brag about shooting people. I will have to ask you for your experiences, when and where have you walked down the street "popping caps"? Where have you learned all this marksman skills you claim to have and who brought you up so f***ing stupid to brag about it on a horsey forum?

Are you really telling me that you wouldn't like to put a gun to the forehead of some scummy lowlife kneeling before you pleading for mercy, that you wouldn't enjoy the look of bewildered terror in his eyes and that you wouldn'[t feel a thrill as you gently pulled the trigger and blew the back of his skull off?

Yep, misread.
If you notice I was responding to the "peep" shooting muppet who thinks it is funny to pretend he goes out shooting people in the streets.
