Hunting deer is barbaric
REGARDING the Kate Middleton deer stalking debate.
Of course it's quite natural and healthy to eat meat. Venison is a deliciously tasty meat that's full of protein and vitamins.
But I find it perverse that anyone should derive pleasure - entertainment - from stalking a petrified deer across miles of countryside then blowing its brains out.
I think that hunting deer absolutely should not be permitted in Britain in this day and age.
It's a cruel, uncivilised pastime unworthy of the name sport.
I also think that only licenced professional farmers should be allowed to kill deer for human consumption (using humane methods of slaughter).
If an age-old tradition is lost - so be it. Let's move with the times and push barbarity aside. For the sake of our moral health.
