I'm not a vegetarian, though I could be if I wanted to, I rarely eat meat. as for my electricity, all my electricity is provided by a canadian nuclear plant... which is also where I work. they're not as bad as many environmentalists proclaim... at least the canadian ones.if I had a choice of any source of meat, I would choose cloned meat... the science to grow complete organs and complete creatures, is not yet perfect.. but the technology to grow masses of a single type of cell, such as muscle tissue, does work...
mmm... meat cubes anyone?  but anyway, if I came across someone hunting that was not doing it for necessary food, or out of self defense, I WOULD treat it as murder, and I'm sorry if any of the hunters on here take offense to that. |

Damn!
You're no fun!
Tried to bait ya, oh well!!!
Personally, I agree, if someone is killing for "FUN" they have a screw loose...
But there is a big difference between hunting and killing...
I hunt, for food, and to get out in the woods and refresh my spirit...
Needless to say, I rarely bring anything home, but I do hope to bring home some delisious food (Sometimes I do bring home vegitive material, like apples, mushrooms, and the like!)
Like I said originally though, when I and my friends do kill an animal, we feel sadness that life was taken to sustain our life, but I believe we have a healthier view on life because we do have a complete experience of having to kill, clean, process, and prepare a meal from animals we have harvested...
Same as my farming goes too, from animals raised and killed for food, it is what most people had to do if they wanted meat on the table...
Not the sanitary supermarket prepackaged slab of mystery meat you buy in the store, loaded with growth hormones, artificial coloring, and antibiotics...
No responsabillity in raising the animals...
No feeling of sadness that a life was lost so you could eat...
