[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] PieTalk1 Just throwing this out there... When I was young, I used to be a vegetarian; for 7 years in fact. My reasons were that I thought that the meat industry was inhumane/morally and all that. However, I have never disagreed with honourable hunting (By which I mean go out, track, kill cleanley and use all of the animal. None of this driven bird shooting or killing 17 elephants to make a really nice toothpick or whatever you kids do these days) A hunter and prey is exactly how the world works, how it has always worked, and how it will work if all our infrastructure were to collapse. To me the inhumane institutionalised slaughter was the real bad thing. And what I thought was the worst part of all was that people so willingly detach from that fact, as if it was morally right 'not to think about it' and that you're 'psychopathic' or 'evil' or whatever, if you did. Anyway, the point is: man up and stop trying to convince yourself that you're a good person because you're not in favour of hunting.[/quote] Not understand the necessities of farming doesn't make you a good person either.
