Madonna reveals former bird-shooting habit

Madonna has told Tatler she once enjoyed shooting birds but stopped after seeing a wounded bird suffer, and says she has since given up the habit.

Madonna has revealed that she used to love shooting birds just for the thrill of it, which is pretty nasty, if you ask me. But let's remember that I would say that, being a vegetarian and all. Anyway, Madonna says that she's over it now, and I, for one, am glad to hear it. She told Tatler: "I was mad for shooting a couple of years ago. I loved my bespoke outfits and everything. Then a bird dropped in front of me that I'd shot. It wasn't dead. It was really suffering. Blood was gushing out of its mouth. I haven't shot since. I realised that I had a kind of bloodlust and was manically shooting as many birds as possible."
