In Australia and NZ when game animals are or were considered pests and "thousands were shot" often for profit, I do wonder how many were lost wounded to inadequate cartridge choice ...

The "fuck it, lets find another one instead ..." attitude.

Seen and heard it more than often myself ...




I recall listening to my father talking about shooting rabbits during the plague in the 50s.
They used .22 Shorts because there were millions of rabbits and this was the cheapest ammo available. They shot so much and got so good at judging trajectory that hits were routine at 100 yards. If you hit a rabbit, there was no need to hit it again. If it was gut-shot, it would die of peritonitis.

Hard men, but far harder times. It may also have had something to do with the fact that many of them were returned soldiers who had seen what real cruelty looked like.

I sometimes think that an obsession with animal welfare is a modern luxury.
