  • royals lecturing us on the killing of animals ....

    how was the balmoral shoot this year your inbredness ?

    Culling deer / grouse is not the same as wiping out rhinos. It's fine to hate the royals, but there are better reasons than William's attempts to protect endangered species.

    if you are out there shooting things it just seems a bit disingenuous when trying to promote and protect wildlife

    That's like saying if you manage a garden and like flowers you're not allowed to cut the grass.

    Tell that to the deer / grouse.

    No it's not. It's like saying if you manage a garden and like flowers you probably shouldn't destroy someone else's garden and flowers.

    There are many reasons to hate the royals, this is another one of them. Being a professional philanthropist on the tax payers pound and ill-gotten wealth does not make you a good person.

    Likewise, being born and raised in a position of privilege does not make you a bad one. I must admit to being not all that bothered about the Royals though.

    Human management of an idealised, artificial environment (grouse / deer estates, salmon rivers, carp lakes, even urban gardens) is an interesting argument though. But I feel maybe not for this thread!
