I’m not talking about the consumption of animals here, to be clear. What I’m talking about is spending days and a bunch of money planning to kill something, doing the killing, and skinning/eviscerating what was killed, and often displaying the stuffed corpse. Hunters and fishers refuse to admit they’re obsessed with taking pleasure in killing something.

Miss me with the “tradition” stuff, it’s just peer pressure from the dead and a fallacious argument. Don’t tell me it’s to eat, like I said, I’m not talking about the consumption here, so please prove to me you are literate by not bringing up that point. And don’t tell me you’re respectful to the animals you kill; I don’t believe the planning, stalking, and killing is a good way to show respect.

    There were times my ex and I wouldn’t have eaten or suffered from malnutrition of it hadn’t been for hunting and raising our own food, vegetables included.

      and that is a natural, beautiful, reason to kill for food. I have utmost respect for those who have to hunt their food, not for obese idiots buying slabs of hormone filled trash that gives them cancer
