Well, not a downright lie. But yes, I can see it so in the case above - where one is dealing with complete amateurs.
I have some 25 hectares of wood and scrubland that is riddled with wild animals. Quite safe to walk in (except for Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays) and very pleasant. The animals know a human and dogs are coming well in advance, so it is very tranquil with just bird noise.
This was five years ago, when the Maire was in charge of the very professional local chasse - I always had a day’s warning of an intended shoot, and heaven knows how many haunches mysteriously left on my doorstep. During his shoot, lots of dog noise but very rarely more than one shot at a time. The Maire insisted his gang did the job properly. Compared to what I hear in the distance where it sounds like the wild west, I admired him for that.
Sadly he has retired and for five years, I can now hear the animals fighting for territory which sometimes can be quite upsetting if there are two large boars deciding who is boss. They also make a mess of the open areas.
I have a friend with a large spread in Scotland who prides himself on animal management that is quite evident on a drive around his estate captivated by the quiet life and quality of his deer. So i must concede with thos who say that culling is necessary. BUT, I totally agree that using any more than two quick shots for an instant kill, or to be near human life in the process is not acceptable. I understand how you feel.
