William Smith:
I *hate* organised shoots like Hazell's.
Danny:
Why?
William Smith:
Because they're unnatural. I mean, they're against nature. Do you know why he's got so many pheasants? Because he buys them as chicks. He puts them in pens and the keepers feed them like... like pets. And when they're released, they're practically tame. Then on the big day of the shoot, an army of beaters crashes through the wood and frightens them all up into the air and a load of rich idiots, who couldn't hit a barn at fifty paces, blasts the senses out of them. Well, that's disgusting, that's organised slaughter. Poaching on the other hand is a quite different matter. It's one man on his own. It's the hunter and his prey. And the pheasants have a chance, it's not easy to catch a pheasant. And anyway, there's the added spice of the keepers lurking behind the trees with loaded shotguns.
Danny:
Guns? They wouldn't shoot you, would they?
William Smith:
Well, Hazell's keepers might. In the old days they just used to pepper your backside a bit. Your old grandfather had a backside like a pin cushion.
