Foxes

[corydoras]

Deer culling is and has been a regular occurrence round here since fallows were introduced...never likely to see one in a supermarket though, wrong shape, wrong size, wrong colour and, horror of horrors, not killed in an abbatoir....and not enough profit for mr Tesco et al....fortunately.

Not true you can buy venison sausages, burgers, and leg in Tesco.

 

And deer is not dear at Asda.

 

I had a play with Google and it appears that you can find venison products at fine supermarkets everywhere.

Oh deer, never liked venison myself.

Lovely grub, I was brought up on venison and salmon.

WHat paret of "foxes may be killed with impunity" don't you get Dave?. Where I was brought up foxes were shot on sight. My Grandad never went out the hill without his shotgun and he was out the hill every day. In the lambing season the fox killing went up a gear or two, especially if you could get a few dens full of cubs.

What group of foxes can be kiled by exemption ?. I think that's a pedantic way of looking at my post . As explained that as my passion and living are flying birds i see it as not exceptable to use another animal when it is putting that animal in a high percentage of killing it by all means go and drag a bit of rag with scent on it . Like your grandad i shoot foxes but using NV as the farm out the back of my house has massive chicken pens...To me it's Vermin like a squirrel however you intepretate the word

Think the key phrase in that Asda article is "deer farmer" - the supermarkets certainly sell venison, but I think Worms was talking about culled deer rather than farmed and slaughtered deer.

It all has to get eaten somewhere, by someone.

But it will be farmed venison, not culled from the wild!

 

Oops, yes Steve was right, didn't see his post before I replied!

The game in my local butcher's shop is hunted - but most people shop at supermarkets.

Or...an essential predator, scavenger and cleaner up of the countryside...A good job that by and large they're more adaptable than the people that try to kill them!
