Stop! Don't shoot!!

We were just flicking though channels on the TV this morning and paused at a nature programme showing a frosty field with a deer standing in it. Then the camera pulled back to reveal two guys in camouflage jackets, one of whom was peering at the deer through the telescopic sight of a rifle. Thankfully there were too many branches in the way and he couldn't get a shot. Bambi's daddy was safe. I was shocked! I know that they like their hunting over here, and that they have programmes on most hobbies (scrap booking, quilting, decoupage etc) but I was still extremely surprised to see a TV programme that was about taking out defenceless animals!!
