IIRC Pink is heavily involved in PETA stuff and IIRC may be vegetarian or vegan...so if there's any truth to the Harry story that would be why.

Pink describes herself as "mostly vegan" but she does on occasion eat chicken and fish. She has been heavily involved with PETA in the past.
Thank you Pranter.
Sounds like they shoot for the thrill though. Not cool. I would be more impressed if he posed next to a plate of beautifully cooked (not endangered) game. I mean, isn't that all the rage now? Taking pictures of delicious food beautifully arranged on a plate and it would totally change the message. :big grin:
I hope he has had a change of heart and now works to stop others from senseless killing for thrill or profit...or both. If so, he should mention it. Now
that would be impressive!!
Yours comes across as a rather emotional reaction to something you don't entirely understand.
In today's day and age, those in the First World have no reason to hunt unless they enjoy it. It's not necessarily a "thrill" but rather a pastime or activity that they enjoy.
At the same time though, there continues to be a huge difference between poaching, hunting for trophies, hunting for conservation, and hunting for sustenance.
Poaching is the hunting of endangered animals, hunting without licensing or outside of legal hours or legal seasons, or using prohibited methods of hunting.
Trophy hunting is the hunting of game for the purpose of keeping parts of the slain animal as a trophy - this can be done in conjunction with sustenance hunting, as the meat itself can still be used as food, while the skin, antlers, and head can all be used as trophies.
Conservation hunting is hunting a specific animal for the purpose of carefully thinning the bread in order to ensure the conservation of an area. This isn't done to the point of extinction, but rather to prevent overpopulation.
Sustenance hunting, of course, is for sustenance.
We've seen William and Harry partake in conservation hunting - their hunting trip to Spain last year(?) for wild boar would count as such, and we've also seen them oppose poaching. I would probably say that their primary means of hunting though is a cross between trophy hunting and sustenance hunting; they don't waste the animals that they kill and even if they themselves aren't eating it, the meat is donated to someone who will eat it, but at the same time they do take their trophies - they have their pictures of themselves beside the animals they've slain. This is a part of the culture of hunting, and if the meat isn't being wasted then what right does anyone who eats meat themselves have to criticize them for this?
