Still somehow in favour of hunting, I presume?

With that kind of logic they might as well kill and stuff their pet cat or dog.

The bonus is that they don’t have to feed it after the deed is done.

Hell, why stop there, kill and taxidermy the wife and even the kids.

Now that is one hell of an idea for some peace and quiet around the house.

The financial savings in the long run would be phenomenal.

Effin’ right lead-poisoning causes brain damage – just look at the election result.

Overhearing a bird catcher mentioning that he paid €5000 euros for leasing for the open season a peice of land near the Hal Far cliffs and explaining that in a good week he earns the amount, shows the financial incentives behind this “HOBBY”. Who would jump inside the Salina at the dead of night for a simple hobby.
What about doing the same for €2000?

What use is it to anyone?

[Daphne – They look at it the other way round. What good is it out in the wild? Majtezwel be stuffed in a garage near the television set, where I can look at it every night.]
