The woke sheeple will hate this

[@themayalls5594]

What year was this filmed please?

[@jamestheposh]

1985

[@thesolitarycyclist9005]

Unintentional irony of the gamekeeper condemning the fox killing the birds, followed by images of incessant killing by the sportsmen.

[@jamestheposh]

Seems deliberately edited to accentuate death by overlaying shooting sounds over the images of deceased poultry.

[@nickjung7394]

​@@jamestheposhI suppose they could have shown the birds having their necks wrung!

[@giovannigiorgio3727]

Retired gamekeeper - I bet he's murdered some wildlife

[@seemoore]

We kill most wildlife in cars, not just under the wheels but on the windscreen and with the poison from the exhaust.

[@nickjung7394]

What a peculiar thing to say. Don't you eat anything?
