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.

    With your logic, accidentally killing an animal with a car is the best thing. No premeditated thought, no planned anything. Just BAM! Finally some amino acids.

      Yeah, comparatively. I guess in human terms it would be the difference between manslaughter vs premeditated murder. I find the whoops it’s dead less creepy than the let’s plan and carry out a killing.
