Technology I think.,.
Cell phones in particular , computer games , social media etc.
'entertainment' at your fingertips. No need to go outside and play anymore. Who wants to shoot rabbits with a 22 when you can assault a compound with grenades and an M60 from the comfort of the sofa with your mates who are on their sofa assaulting the same compound and chatting with you through the interwebs.
And with social media being the perfect platform for constant brainwashing from all and sundry telling you how terrible it was with your father/grandfather murdering animals for food and so on....
