Take a look at most hunt vids and the posh lot mainly just like riding their horses while the people digging out the fox holes and generally being vile are much further down the social chain

This is brilliant, completely  brilliant, either you are a genius or a genuine moron, and the genius is I cannot decide which.

Apologies for the edit for clarity. But you’ve just described a steak. As a society we don’t eat meat for survival. We do it because we enjoy it.

Ok, maybe I should have been clearer. Killing purely for the enjoyment of the kill.

Never kill what you are not prepared to eat- certainly, never eat what you are not prepared to kill not so sure, I want someone to do it as well as possible and hope that an expert will make a far better job than me.

A good point, well made.

cougar – how do you feel about “free range” meat? Grouse for example

I don't know as I understand the question? If you are going to eat meat then I'd feel happier if it'd been, well, happier. Is that what you mean?

Both are killing for enjoyment, just different forms of enjoyment. The net outcome is the same.

yes.  thats the point.  Free range meat has a decent life then is lunch.

Or deer that needs to be culled - better to let it rot or eat it?

I think we're at angry dolphins. I agree with you.

I don't care if people eat meat. It's just not for me, as I said. Rather, I'm trying to encourage people to consider that perhaps it's not exactly black and white unless you're either a PETA-card carrying vegan or you simply don't give a shit about animals; everything else falls in between.

To object to fox hunting is laudable; but if you're then jumping onto every veggie food-related thread to go "yes but bacon" and hoovering up cheap battery-farmed eggs at ASDA then it's arguably hypocritical.
