I love that, only wished the birds and animals could shoot back and get their target.

Back in the sixties if you went rabbit shooting, all you were doing was putting them out of their misery as most of them were riddled with Myxomatosis.

When I was a child in England, my mum used to get rabbits from the butcher to help out with the meat ration. I could never face eating it so had to have meatless dinners for a lot of the time.

Had rabbit when l stayed with my Aunt & Uncle on their farm. Still remember how quickly my aunt took the rabbit from the trap & with the blink of an eye had stripped the fur from the body.

On another occassion l went out with my uncle & a Government Agent to spread poison to cull rabbits.
( the most painful part about visits there was wearing thongs & regularly standing on Double Gees, ouch! ).
