Is this guy taking the piss??
A farmer will use a shotgun to shoot a rabbit/pheasant..
Shotguns have a range of ~100 yards and the shot/pellets disperse over a wide range.
Shooting a rabbit/pheasant means you don't have to be accurate or precise but can aim in the general direction and most likely hit your target, and obviously the closer you are, the more likely you are to hit and kill it.
"So is shooting a rabbit/pheasant the same as shooting an armed and violent criminal?"
No, of course not...
The rabbit/pheasant won't shoot back so you can take your time and fire multiple times.
You can shoot indiscriminately and not worry about hitting innocent people.
You can shoot from a distance.
You don't need to check whether it's the right rabbit/pheasant - if it looks like one, you can shoot it.
If you miss, never mind, another one will be along soon enough.
You don't need authorisation to shoot it.
But I daresay you'll ignore the above and instead simply make another post still repeating the same inane question.
