there is far more expensive shit to get wound up about.
Yep. The real 'landowners' are not our dated aristocrats, but Google, facebook, starbucks ect who don't pay their fucking taxes.
There's an odd conflagration of land management and privilege here. Sure, posh people shoot deer, but they are mostly crap at it. The deer populations are kept at healthy levels by people who work all year round, not just for fun in the summer.
On the subject of the Scottish Highlands, they are very fashionable with rich foreign business owners. Near where my cousin lives, Mr. Lego bought up a whole swathe, deforested some of it to have his freinds round to shoot stuff but they didn't know what they were doing. The deer population grew, some went lame, some starved, then they killed the whole lot and built a golf course.

i am all for making them live off the massive estates they spent centuries acquiring, but isn't it something like 50p a year they cost each taxpayer? there is far more expensive shit to get wound up about.
