villaguy Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 I used to be a beater for a syndicate shoot based out of my Dad's pub as a kid. Local farm workers, car salesman, solicitors, paper shop owner etc. the usual cross section you'd expect in a village pub 25 years ago. Toffs they were not. Where it happens then killing birds of prey is obviously well out of order, but I find it quite funny the amount of townies who seem to think country sports are the preserve of posh people. I'm a lad from Lincolnshire (rural) who also used to hunt (falconry), it annoys me when people think I'm a townie because I disagree with shooting. Some of the people with similar views to me also were ex shooters who when they actually understood the animal actually began to respect it rather than kill it. Look at Sir Peter Scott as a similar example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frobisher Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Toff in bloodsports shock. In other news, woods full of bear shit. They're not - the toffs hunted all the bears. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
