Tom:

100% right. Humans are the trespassers on this planet as the animals were here first.

Tonker:

I assume when you say "over here" you mean England. Never know where you are at any one time, or do you mean your land in Spain?

It's wrong for you to be told off for trying to protect your own land. If there are signs saying No Trespassing, and they trespass, then that's against the law, and I don't care what the Rural Police say. I'd do my best to get their bony backsides in court and prosecute them.

If they kill for food, and they're starving, perhaps it would be deemed acceptable, but not killing for the sake of it.

Did you know, humans are the only species that kill for fun? Animals don't. They only kill to survive. It angers me when people say (about humans) "they're just a bunch of animals." They're not, and it's insulting to say that about the animal kingdom. These people that kill in the name of sport, or love, or greed, or anger are a sub-species of humanity that haven't yet developed properly.

I've studied a quite a bit of criminal psychology and, if children take pleasure in killing animals with no remorse, have a tendency to get tired of animals and move on to humans as they get older. This has been the case with a vast majority of serial killers which are classed as criminally insane and have no respect for any kind of life. Children pulling off the wings of butterflies, kids nailing kittens to doors; kids microwaving live hamsters, and many other instances have been documented.

I know I've gone slightly off at a tangent, but I do feel very strongly about the welfare of animals, and I don't apologise for it.
