I would hardly say that accyplus.
I think that it is not the place of town and city people to try and control countryside traditions which we do not understand. I don't see the people of Accy objecting to the fact that our council regularly culls the local pigeon population or objecting to the fact that we have a rat catcher. Every country has it's own way of controlling pests for example in Dominican Republic the sugar caners had to import Mongoose to kill the snakes which inhabit the sugar cane plantations. The snakes were attacking the caners and ruining crops. Mongoose were released into the sugar cane to kill the snakes. I didn't see an outcry from animal liberation about the import of Mongoose from the USA and the use of such creatures to kill the snakes.
I will pose this question to all who think that the culling of foxes and hares is cruel (by whichever method, be it hunting, coursing, shooting or poisons) If you had an infestation of rats or cockroaches in your home, would you hire someone to get rid of them????
I sure as hell know that I would...
