Is it the grins?

Or the pride that they obviously feel in slaughtering something that is so much more beautiful than they can ever be?

There are plenty of Brits who enjoy this barbarism, probably partly because they were brought up to it however I doubt there's a British person stupid enough to include their tendencies as part of some leadership campaign. They'd know it would be a death knell.

If these 'so called' brave men had killed this cat in hand to hand, I would say, that's fair enough, but shooting it from afar, is because they are cowards, and enjoy hurting and killing something that can't fight back.
