Sorry, who has their pet rabbits or birds just roaming around in their garden not in some form of run/fencing to protect it from such things?
You don't own pets do you.
Yes.
You've literally just made my point for me.
If my dog killed a small animal whilst out on a walk I would put it down to it being the natural instinct of that animal, however upsetting.
My brain wouldn't even think for one second that it is the same as men in red coats blowing a trumpet...
Indeed. It's exactly the same
Cat hunts small animals due to it's natural instincts.
Posh men on horses chase down fox for sport and let dog rip it apart for a laugh.
