Ever notice that man will take on animals, even the deer, only when they have a big gun. Now how manly is that sh*t?

Are you a vegitarian? Do you wear any leather? The deer atleast has more of a chance then farm animals do...


Tim, in theory yes, but in practice not always. Occasionally. And your point was.....that it is manly to shoot animals in the woods and its cowardice to kill them on the farm?

Let's break this down...technically we are carnivores although I am not sure we started out that way. But lets say eating meat is the norm which it is....than why waste the animal skin if he/she is going to be killed for food in any case?

I don't consider killing animals for food and using the remaining skin for shoe products the same as going out and killing animals for sport. Probably neither should be done but the first by far is the lesser of two evils and makes the second act of killing unnecessary...but unfortunately that doesn't stop some people.
