Obviously not... In fact, in the case of the gyrocopter death, if hunters accepted that hunting is now unlawful in the UK, and found something more useful and constructive to do with their spare time, then surely the death would not have occurred anyway? One thing is certain: Many people will *NOT* be mourning the hunt supporter's death. Myself included.

Also Anonymous, it really isn’t clear whether or not it was an accident. I’d hope it was an accident. Though I personally wouldn’t go any where near a gyrocopter –they’re too dangerous, for me, that is. Maybe the hunter was mad, angry I mean, and didn’t think about what he was doing, on an airfield. Joe, I think what you’re trying to say is that now animal rights activists have killed someone, it’s terrorism ? I’d agree with you, if it wasn't an accident, and if people felt terrorised only by death, but they don’t. People can be terrorised by many things. Many people can be terrorised by living near to a slaughter house, knowing that animals of species other than their own, are being killed in there. Here’s the report two days later :

In fact, perhaps the hunter should be nominated for a Darwin Award. Joe – it is clear that this was an accident. In fact, perhaps the hunter should be nominated for a Darwin Award.
