There is somehting Quintessentially wrong with your culture when such behavour is ok or even expected.( I don't mean this in a nationalistic sense)
This is probably due to the fact that hunting was always the preserve of landed gentry, and to a great degree it still is. Also there is a distinct air of abhorrence about hunting for the sake of killing. We are supposedly a nation of 'animal lovers' (although my best mate is an RSPCA Inspector and may disagree)
I have no issue with hunting for food, fishing for food, etc, Its doing it for fun that I, and many otthers dont understand. I have 'hunted' for food: rabbits, pheasant. I have to kill baby Jackdaws and injured pigeons on a daily basis. I have shot a deer that was injured by a car and a dog that was terminally ill. I hated and detested every single one. The deer was eaten, although I didn't scoff the dog or the Jackdaws
