Nagy, if you want to see a creature that is capable of killing for all kinds of reasons, including for fun, then go look in a mirror. As pure predators, the ability to hunt and kill prey is the most important skill for the cats' survival. While the instinct that makes them do so is 'hard coded' into their behavior, the hunting techniques are not. They are learned and improved through practice. That's what the cats do when they are outside at night and that's also the reason why the cats are proud when they are successful.
So what's your excuse? And don't claim you are not doing anything, just because others conveniently do the dirty work for you.

Why do I do it to myself?
I just got a call from the school, one of the helpers for this afternoon's cookery classes has called in sick. The teacher knows I'm competent and close so could I possibly pop-in and help out? The words bow and locks come together.
I agreed! Why?

I do listen to the home service but we don't have a licence! AND I DON'T CARE!!!
Actually, Mrs Wife gets an exemption for it. That, Council Tax exemption and Fuel Duty rebates save us a tidy lump.

Yeah I'm thinking of not paying mine after I sat down on Saturday to watch Doctor Who only to find Bruce Forsyth and then some gay wizard was on in his place.
WTF it'd only been on for about 3 weeks and now they've took it of again.

I didn't have one for a while.
A man turned up and wrote down what I was watching and told me off.
I convinced him it was a genuine mistake and started paying for one again.
They didn't hit for back payments from what I recall.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

I had a man turn up once.
He asked about my license and I said I didn't have one.
He asked if I had a television and said that it was none of his business.
He demanded access to the property to inspect and I told him if he put one foot across the door I would punch him to the ground as I would be defending my property from illegal entry.
He got very officious and demanded to know my name, which I refused to give.
I asked him his full name and address, which he refused to give me.
I pointed out that I did not know him and so he could 'F*** Off'.
Never heard from them again.
You do know that the TV Detector vans do not actually work, they are there only to frighten people into paying the TV License.
You also know that they have no right whatsoever to enter your property at all, and that it is only a threat that they get a warrant to do so.
No warrant can be issued for TV license detection as it would be an abuse of due process under European Law, and that they can only come in if the house holder lets them.
It is these idiots that let them in who get caught and prosecuted.
