Not all the hunters prefer the same game and not all hunt the same way. Of course, some prefer to "hunt" women, but to each his own. For example, in England roe deer and rabbits are not that much appreciated as game species, being left to the rangers, and nobody would think to shoot wild doves, which can become agric... |

Japan is considered one of the nations with the highest technology and assumes one of the highest life standards. That's why it's a shame that Japan is still defying the international ban of commercial whaling, which could lead to the extinction of 5 out of 13 great whale species. The abundance of whale mea... |
