I often get the question 'Oh, ar you a vegetarian? Why is it because you don't like killing animals, or because of the taste?'. Well it's both. The thought of putting a living creature through torture and death so that I can have a meal and the rest of the animal can be thrown away - I find appauling. It's nice to see that more people are becoming veggie though!! :o) Hi I’ve been a vegetarian for 13 years (I’m 24), and went through my adolescents and early twenties just fine without eating meat).

When i have children if they tell me they want to eat meat i will want them to witness the slaughter of the animal and then i want them to tell me that they still want to eat it.

However, the thought of grey squirrels being captured in traps, and then shot in the back of the head, does not sit at all well with me. As far as I can see, so-called conservation culling is not very different from consistently freeing flies from a spider's web. Yeah, you saved the flies, but the spider will die instead. I'm not sure how you justify killing one animal in order to protect another. So I would have to say that, without further info, I'm against it. This is why I don't free the fly from the web, even though I really want to. I don’t know a lot about this, so I don’t have a strong opinion about it.

Take for example grey squirrels and the American signal crayfish, both invasive species (and coincidently both American in origin), that pose a direct threat to the survival of the native British species.
