I agree to that. After all the world’s oceans used to be filled with fishes until canned tuna manufacturers brought fishing vessels to catch tuna and sacrifice other species who gets in the way 24 hours a day 365 days a year. Most of our kind have the habit of killing lesser species more than we could feed upon.

I like your distinction “the hunter who hunts for meat”. Unfortunately, there are still those who hunt for trophies, or only keep the choice parts of the kill. I grew up on a hard-scrabble farm where if we killed something, it got used up, not wasted.

I only agree with hunting as a means to feed your family not for fun. What fun is there to kill a beautiful animal?

I am torn about the subject of hunting. When I was young we lived off meat that was hunted and fresh fish. Yet, I could not imagaine looking an animal in the face and being able to aim a gun at it and shoot it.

Factory farms are more cruel than most people realize, as most are so far removed from rural life.

Factory farm is an oxymoron. Most farmers actually felt some compassion for the animals they knew were going to slaughter.

Very good point B. We are- by nature- hunters!

I do take issue when somebody calls hunting a SPORT.
I have to respect eating from a kill, I don’t each much meat but do feel guilty when I do. I hate killing anything–although there are a few people—
