You can certainly live without pheasant, but then you can live without Lamb, Pork, (particularly intensively farmed, ??) Beef , Veal (yuck), in fact all animals reared to be slaughtered. At least the pheasants fly freely and are not subjected to the (slaughter) house! Now there's a by word for cruelty!!
As for Fox hunting? I'm totally on the fence about it as there are two or more points of view. One thing is for sure, it is NOT only Hooray Henry's that support Fox hunting! If it were it would not survive owing to lack of numbers!! Many many ordinary folk follow it , many ordinary people ride with it, the numbers prove that!
