I eat meat.

I try to ensure that the meat I buy was reared humanely and killed quickly and painlessly.

I deplore intensive farming, battery hens, force-fed calves etc.

I will only buy free range eggs and poultry.

I respect vegetarians who have a personal moral or ethical opposition to eating meat.

BUT...

If I meet one more meat eater that says hunting is a cruel and unjustified blood-sport, I may go postal.

And as for vegetarians who want to preach at me about what I eat, I'd love to show them the animal holocaust caused by their consumerist frenzy of possession for possession's sake.

If the Lord meant us to be vegan, why did he make cows out of steak?

Feel free to fUck off now. My message is cast unto the 4 winds.

I don't, we are hunters FFS, grow some balls and have a bacon sarnie.

I can assure any Veggie who care to listen that if it wasn't for people like me then Chickens, Cows, Sheep and Pigs would be all but extinct, Who's being cruel now?

But the rest of it i agree with, after all who am i to disagree with the Nobster?

You know what killed the dinosaurs?

You don't huh? Well I'll tell you!

Vegitables!

They started eating evil plants, got too big, then they all tripped and died at the same time.

It was the lettuce.

Lettuce is Evil. Lettuce is the Evil Master mind behind all vegatable inspired horror.

Like brussel sprouts.

We are omnivores. Our digestive tract is built for digesting meat. Which is why vegetarians have to supplement their diet less they become aenemic.

While we didnt start out getting our meat from hunting, we infact probably got our first taste via scavenging, we eventually loved it enough to need start hunting for it on our own. The co-operation needed in order to hunt is viewed as one of the founding blocks of what would later become human civilization.

Suck it vegans.

I knew a girl back in high school who claimed to be a vegetarian for ethical/humane reasons--yet she was never found without her very lovely leather jacket.

The only meat that I hunt is wrapped in cellophane, and stocked in the grcoery case.

A friend of mine is a vegetarian not because he loves animals, but because he hates plants.

I was vegetarian for a number of years in my youth. I have to admit that it was not because of violence toward animals but simply because meat kinda grossed me out. It was always interesting to me how many people got on my *** the second they learned I was veggie. "Why are you veggie? Is it because of cruelty to animals? I bet you have leather shoes!" I had leather shoes aplenty.

I must also add that I have since begun eating meat again - still not a huge fan. The meat I eat comes from the grocery store, in a nice sanitary package with a tiny little diaper under it. If I had to eat something freshly shot, I'd probably puke my guts up.

Do you mean in-season hunting of a white-tailed deer for sport which will also be used for venison or do you mean popping a black bear so you can pose him in your foyer?

Or both?

Or running on a horse while a pack of dogs tear into a fox?

I have no problem with hunting as long as the animal is eaten.

Hunting for the sake of killing stuff is kinda lame, though. Pick on someone your own size, join the army and go kill Talibanies.


Edited cos I suck

There is no sport in taking a shot with a high-powered rifle with a scope from hundreds of yards away and then tracking a blood trail to where the animal succumbs to it's wounds then dressing it.

Anyone who wished to hunt for sport would do it in a loincloth in the woods with a 12 in. knife. Anything else is just taking advantage of technological superiority to torture and kill weaker animals.

True that. However, my opinion towards keeping the deer population in check is different than my opinion of wanting a pronghorn antelope head on your wall.

I may not care for deer hunting but, properly managed, it provides an important purpose.

My sister is a semi-vegetarian so she eats fish and fowl, basically anything that can't smile.

I was actually considering going vegitarean for a little while, not for any moral or ethical reasons, just to lose a little weight. It lasted 3 days before I needed a whopper.

I was a vegetarian for a couple of years in college. Just one of those "I should do this and change my life" kind of things.

Later, I was visiting France and eating at a restaurant and saw duck on the menu. I said to myself "Fuck it. It's not as if I have any convictions against eating meat, I just haven't done it." And then I broke my meat-fast.

I'm a man who enjoys his duck.

Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw the other day:

Quote:
The reason people are more violently opposed to fur than leather is because it’s easier to harass rich women than it is biker gangs.


I don't have an issue with hunting for food. It's the sport/trophy hunting I have issues with. I hear the argument all the time for deer hunting, that they are thinning the herd and making the herd stronger, just like a wolf or cougar would do. The problem there is hunters usually kill the biggest, healthiest buck so they can have a nice trophy, where as natural predators thin out the old and weak in the herd.
