I thank the Member for giving way. We are conflating two issues. The Member did not ask whether game was on the menu. The Member was asking about whether game that you were going to eat and which was on the menu would have been hunted down by a dog and killed by a dog, not lifted by a dog after it had been shot. Do not forget that we are not talking about dogs generally; we are talking about dogs that are specifically sent out to kill the animal.
