The Heron Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 I was on a pheasant and partridge day on Saturday after the first drive it was time for refreshments I was told that the food on the right was for the vegans and the food on the left was for the rest of us I thought that vegans would be the last people I would meet shooting.

Vince Green Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 Not really, vegetarianism or veganism can be a health choice or a protest against chemicals and battery farming. My mate in Wales is a vegetarian and grows a lot of his own food organically but will shoot any pigeons squirrels or rabbits looking for a free meal at his expense.

I would assume the reply was (like mine) in relation to London Best's post about vegetarians who shoot being hypocrites Much like some shooters who just blat away at pigeons or other species on the GLs are hypocrites, pretending they're doing it for all the right reasons, when all they really want to do is 'test themselves' - which they could just as easily do on the clays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellside Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Did you hear that word ‘vegan’ originates from native American tribes - it means bad shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It keeps the landowner happy, and because I can. I don’t know what other reason anyone needs, let alone ‘the right reason’? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
