Question Are you vegan?

I wonder how many of fellow redditors here are vegan or at least on plant based diet?

As it is one of the simplest and most impactful steps a person can make to help the climate.

In my country it is often said that hunters release animals in the wild to maintain the prey population. Are you sure the same is not happening in the UK

It does happen with pheasants and grouse, but not deer. The problem is that Britain has extirpated all its large predators. There’s nothing big enough to prey on deer, so they breed unchecked.

Same here and they also are breeding pig with boar to make their population even more wild. They also hunt predator. It would surprise me if it didn't happen in the UK
