mel,
by saying we should never be ashamed of who we are od what we do etc i meant by our decisions in life and taking the path we chose to take.... i would be ashamed if for instance i found a member of my family or a friend were murderers or rapists etc . but thats a whole different ball game, what i meant (for example) is many a time i have been walking alone in town , minding my own business,doing my shopping etc and some group of teens (usually boys) shout 'freak / goth etc ..... at me, why should i be ashamed of who i am? but at some points it has upset me to the point of going straight back to the car and going home.
what i'm getting at is, why should squinney be ashamed of what he does if that is his path? my dad does much the same and works alongside a gamekeeper, one day on his way home from a shoot, a woman stopped her car wound her window down and shouted at my dad that he was a murderer and that he should be ashamed of himself.... what right had she got, to do that without asking why? before she said it.?
i'm not having a go by the way, but why should people like my dad and squinney be ashamed of what they do when all they are trying to do is help nature regrowth?
squinney... are you a member of BASC? me and dad are... its the british association for shooting AND conservation , their website is worth a look as it explains why .
sorry!!
i hope i haven't upset anyone, its just a subject that touches a few nerves with me, mel can i ask what environment you live in? eg country,town, city etc?

blessings and love to all
sam x
