I am told that often I am not very good at being politically correct or clearly communicating my position in a post.

Therefore, let me first start by saying, "NO! I have not converted to being an animal rights activist." I continue to live by a hunter's code.

If a hunter's ethics are offensive to some of you. Then I extend my sincere apologies and we can agree to disagree.

Having stated this:

I have never been in favour of any creature, big or small needlessly suffering. As such, I ask that if you are moved by this, you petition the French goverment to stop this practice. Sending a letter of complaint doesn't take that much time.

And for the record, I don't know of anyone that hunts that would agree with this barbaric process.

If you do make the effort to write a letter may want to toss in the fact that in France it is part of their cuisine procedures to force feed geese until their livers burst. In order to "enhance the flavour" of the liver that is used in their world famous pates.
