It is a perfectly legal sport so are you saying that having been shot the
bird shouldn't have been humanely dispatched.

Is it a sport extinguishing the life of a fellow planet dweller? Is the
taking of any life a sport? Is war a sport? At least soldiers fight each
other - it is not so loaded the way of of the coward who is taking no
risk - other than perhaps being shat on.


So breeding chickens for food is inhumane, when you either cut their heads
off or strangle them, that is inhumane?

Ditto for sheep and cattle, the only difference is that shooting birds is
less effective than cutting throats of sheep!

You miss the point. Sheep, cows and chickens are not frightened out of
undergrowth they have been encouraged to hide in, by men with sticks,
and then shot FOR FUN. Are you a bit thick, or what? This is a
fundamental and very simple point to grasp and your comparison is
childish and pathetic (and rather desperate).

Yes, in fact, the way non-free range chickens are produced (and eggs
from battery hens) IS inhumane, as you well know if you are not a total
ignoramus.
