I guess you others are vegetarians, ever gone to your local meatworks to see what happens there to animals. Hunting game animals with firearms is the most humane way, to eradicate pests, & to obtain food.
The sport of hunting throughout the world has many benefits, socially, economicly & environmentally.
The only thing that putts guns down are obviously criminals, & anit-gunners. Over-regulating the sport has been proven to be a large waste of time & money.
For example, pistols have been banned in the UK since the Dunnblane shooting, yet there appears to be more & more ilegal pistols, why?
If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have them. In Australia, there has been thousands of gun crimes since the 1996 Port Arther shootings, but since then, its only been one legal gun owner that has shot some-one other than himself.
Going hunting, is a family sport hear in Australia.
Helps the farmer, the taxpayer, & the environment. Its better to have them hunting, then on the turps.
Rob, Sydney , Australia
I guess Kate really loves Willy.

Jean Bennington wrongly states "the majority of the public dislike blood sports". This is a deliberate falsehood. It is true to say that a large number of urban dwellers who don't know any better dislike blood sports but this is entirley different.
Personally I believe that if you are prepared to eat meat you should be prepared to kill it.
Huw, Swindon, Wilts
Who is likely to be better trained than Prince William to shoot a stag Howard?
He's been trained by the British Army and is likely therefore to be an excellent shot.
Ken Chadwick, Chorley, England
I suppose you would rather they went out a bought a nice chunk of shrink wrapped venison. As long as it was killed and butchered well out of sight and we didn't have to see it until it was on the shelf that's all okay. Any meat eater who thinks killing animals is wrong or who wouldn't be willing to kill themselves is a hypocrite and an idiot.
Bob, Lodon,
Possibly culls may be necessary for the overall benefit of the animals. But, if so, let it be done professionally and humanely by professionals, not by royals intent on indulging their bloodlust at the taxpayers' expense.
Howard, Milton Keynes,
Jean - I agree with you on Kate's role in blood sports as opposed to Diana - but the royal family is an economic power machine for the UK. It is the glamour, the tradition and the uniqueness of Britain's royalty which attracts so many foreign visitors, and their spending power, to London and the UK.

Of course Kate will have to partake in the Royals' pastime of killing for fun in order to be a member of this motley crew. Diana never took part in blood sports so she was an outsider but had compassion which endured her to the public . If Kate becomes like the rest of the Royals' she wont be popular for the majority of the public dislike blood sports . It's about time we had the choice of voting for a republic .
Jean Bennington, Prestatyn, Britain
