Slaughter of our wild life

This person, the Game Keeper, or to give it the correct terminology for this sad and worthless profession, is the Wild Life Assassin. This fine upstanding gentleman, a pillar of our society, will, without giving it a second thought, systematically slaughter animals and birds of prey that come within striking distance of his unfortunate game birds, either by shooting, snaring, poisoning and whatever else takes his fancy.

However, name and address supplied speaks of less humane methods being used if fox hunting was banned. So Mr Game Keeper, you think that chasing a terrified animal with hounds, then being ripped apart limb from limb as being humane. I can only say you are one very sad individual. Now you speak of a less humane method, would this be snaring with a wire noose? You know Mr Game Keeper, like you do with stoat, weasel and the rabbit, would this be the same method, where the poor animal is given a slow lingering death through strangulation?

I will say to you this, anyone that condones this despicable act of cruelty to a terrified animal should be prosecuted and certified at the same time; you wouldn't know anything, about being terrified would you Mr Game Keeper? I don't know what planet you are from, but you are certainly not from this one.
