To me, that's just psychopathic.

I used to kill pigs and I think everyone who eats animals should see it. when I was in my teens we often watched my dad gutting fish. we should respect life even in death.

I hunted most of much of my life. I have killed many big game animals from From Antelope, Deer, Elk, Bear, Moose, Javelina, Squirrel, Rabbits, and many game Birds. So, I have field dressed, packed out, and butchered lots of animals for my families consumption. I believe in strict controls of animal populations and hunting.
At one time In 1972 through 1973 I ranched with my Uncle on a 20,000 acre cattle ranch. we raised 400 head of mother cows along with 40 Bulls and 6 horses. I also raised and marketed over 800 piglets from 50 sows for sale at market. We killed and butchered our own beef, and on ocassion a hog. I grew up in Imperial Beach, CA and my first trip to Montana to visit my uncles ranch was when I was 24 in 1970.
I have not hunted in 15 years and use my camera now days. I am not against hunting or eating animals that are plentiful, but just not excited about it in my later years.
I have a hard time understanding the basis for anti hunting advocates. I respect the view and am against cruelty of animals. But to treat animals of all types as though they should all live out their natural lives in peace and harmony is not logical nor natural. People I know who feel that way cannot discuss it on an intellectual level. It always devolves into their belief as though it was a religious or spiritual thing. And that is where they get angry because they sound just like Bible people or Thiests. It is fine for preditor animals to kill, and very cruelly so, in order to eat, but man is supposed to be spiritually evolved beyond that. I respect the belief of those who eat no meat at all, wear not pelts at all, or buy nothing else made from animals. I respect them just like I do Christians. But I don't want their illogical beliefs in my face or my politics.
I would like to heat a logical discussion on this that did not devolve into accussing hunters of do it to make up for their dick size. I love the Bill Maher show but cannot understand his illogical defense of anti hunting groups. He mentions dick size almost every time he speaks on the subject. a funny joke but very demeaning to me. But that is how the subject goes, because there is no factual, logical reasons behind it.
I am sure I will hear some discussion on this. But if you respond with spiritual, emotional arguments arguments, our say there are not enough deer in the country Or some other animal that is plentiful I will call you on it. I am not for hunting Wolves, or Grizzly Bear. But that is a government and regulatory argument and depends on accurate numbers, etc. That and regulation of hunting laws. And I know those having spent 20 years in Montana.

Interesting. The only animal meat I eat is ocean cold water fish, for the Omega-3 oil, but if someone eats meat, raising your own would at least avoid factory farms, cruelty, GMOs, pesticides, drugs, and hormone additives.

Still, despite my realization that people do eat meat, and despite my own having to eat fish for my health, I would never date anyone who actually enjoyed hunting, fishing, or who raised animals to slaughter.

O have killed, dressed, and cooked many animals in my lifetime.. I did not relish it, but it was a fact of life in a rural area.

I have not done any of those things. Nor would I.
I get your point though.
