today we learned: apparently, in the UK, hunting is seen as a posh thing that rich people do
here in the US it's seen as a low-brow kind of thing, basically the exact opposite

@Felthry It's because we don't really have a lot of wildland that encroaches on farms etc. in the same way
That and all the land is owned by rich people who deliberately breed animals just to be hunted, or just hate foxes.
@DarkOverord huh! i guess that makes sense, it just never occurred to us that there's less wildland there
also what the fuck rich people, quit breeding animals just for hunting. also foxes are wonderful what are you doing

@Felthry We're smaller than Texas and have more than triple the population afterall!
And also royalty who own all the land.
We do have larger wild areas that border farms etc. but due to mass hunting of wildlife prior there's not much to hunt :X
@DarkOverord meanwhile we have bits of forest just in the middle of cities, not a park or anything just land that hasn't had anything built on it yet
i guess you probably don't have any of that there

@Felthry yeah green space in UK cities is rarely larger than an hour's walk (at an average person's pace) across at most.
Like I think this is one of the largest urban greenspaces and it's very much still a park haha
