I am not having children so I guess I am instantly disrupting said order.<br /><br />There a million cons IMO to hunting. However there are plenty of avid hunters who will counter with their own reasons why hunting is good for them. I will probably not agree with them, but I will let them (and I guess you) have your own opinion.<br /><br />Until next time...

I'm just trying to tell you that I don't think there's anything wrong with hunting, with or without weapons, if you're doing it for sustenance. I can see the point of vegans who don't eat meat because of mistreatment of animals in the food industry -- that makes sense to me. But to balk at hunting in its purest sense, well, I don't see a reason for it. I'm no history buff, but I'm pretty sure humans survived for ages by hunting for food AND by growing vegetables. It seems like nature 101 to me -- the food chain. Living things kill other living things in order to perpetuate their species. No prey ever WANTS to be eaten, but it's the natural order of things, and who am I to disrupt that? ;)Caityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026267090822859460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542219039974483951.post-61206284964167159352011-01-10T15:16:25.002-05:002011-01-10T15:16:25.002-05:00Exactly why they don't need to be killing anim...Exactly why they don't need to be killing animals. Right? Until you can go out, look a pig in the face, slaughter it, skin it, and eat it- you have no business eating a pork sandwich. Nature also gave humans the ability to grow vegetables, harvest fruit, and grow soybeans... Much the same.

I don't think any fight in nature could be truly "fair" in the sense that both sides have equal resources and abilities. Nature gave humans the brainpower to develop weapons to kill food and survive. Nature gave deer the ability to run. It kind of works itself out. I can't imagine that any human (aside from Chuck Norris) could catch and kill a deer with his bare hands...Caityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026267090822859460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542219039974483951.post-3490582433317010322011-01-10T11:46:46.416-05:002011-01-10T11:46:46.416-05:00I think hunters probably do feel connected to natu...I think hunters probably do feel connected to nature. Deep down hunting is a part of evolution and part of life. My problem is, I think hunting should only be allowed if it's a fair fight. No guns, no crossbows, no artillery... just you, your hands and the animal. A deer can't fight back when a hunter has a gun. What about self defense? Therefore, the fight isn't fare. I don't like hunting at all but if someone really believes it is their right to go into the woods and shoot a deer, I doubt there is anything I will say to stop them. I just can't justify it...The Chubby Veganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06179258071750439194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542219039974483951.post-34311279161384200222011-01-10T11:28:04.746-05:002011-01-10T11:28:04.746-05:00Interesting that your vegan-ness makes you feel mo...Interesting that your vegan-ness makes you feel more connected to nature. It makes sense, but I bet a lot of hunters would argue that their practice of hunting brings them closer to nature as well. It's one thing to abhor the food industry and its practices, but even if I decided to stop eating meat from grocery stores, I think I would still eat hunted meat. It's a predator/prey relationship that has been around since the beginning of time. Would you scold a lion for eating an antelope?Caityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026267090822859460noreply@blogger.com
