I recently presented a programme for BBC Radio 4 entitled ‘Tooth and Claw’. A link to the programme is here It made it onto ‘Pick of the Week’.
It was brilliantly produced by Michael Umney, and a joy to make.
It examines a conundrum that has long interested me: how can someone with a clairvoyant rapport with nature also enjoy killing things?

You can’t have a rapport and enjoy killing. This is simple hypocrisy and contradictory in nature. What people say is not necessarily the truth but what they do betrays their real feelings or lack of them.
