On burrowed time: hunting with Ireland's last traditional rabbit catcher | AFP

Steven McGonigal is the last traditional rabbit catcher in Ireland. He uses a dog to find warrens and ferrets to flush rabbits out before dispatching them by hand. Though distasteful to some, he believes the old ways are more environmentally friendly than many modern techniques.

    No one has told humans to take responsibility of balancing chains nor gave rights to kill them!
