@Eric A... I will write in english... I feel that I might be able to better express myself that way..
I think in this case the debate was kept on a very sober level, not much "ammo" for a danish version of PETA here.. (well you did supply some .50 cal[
])
Generally hunters and hunting is more acceptable to "ordinary people" in Denmark, most people in DK who are not completely brainless inner-city types, will know a few hunters personally.
In Denmark we have a population of around 5 mill. out of that 160.000 people have taken the hunting licence test, ad are paying for the mandatory licence every year... that is roughly 3% of the population... So "sneaky" attacks on hunters through media and internet is not very common.
Just think about it... If you had a neighbor, one that you knew superficially, and they had a few horses and some young kids...
One day they ask you: We have this old horse, that really needs to be put down, but we have had a bad experience earlier with the vet killing one with an injection, We know you're a hunter and have rifles... would you do us the faver of shooting it?
What would be your reaction? To immediately suspect them of being PETA activists trying to lure you into something messy?
