I'm not a vegetarian and I don't oppose hunting, I just don't want to shoot animals personally. If anyone wants to hunt on my land, they have my permission. A neighbor proposed I shoot them with a 22 and let them go off to die slowly someplace else. Two people have proposed that. What a cruel idea. Ugh. I think people don't hunt right here because there are houses, at least every two or four acres. I used to hear shots in hunting season, I don't now, they must be hunting someplace else.

What many don't realize is live and let live doesn't work. Throughout eternity someone or thing has been the predator that knocked down populations of animals. If nothing else nature stepped in with starvation or blue tongue or something else. Ignoring and praying to the gods doesn't make it.

"If someone were to ask me what the most important outward manifestation of Hinduism was, I would suggest that it was the idea of cow protection," Mohandas K. Gandhi, India's great teacher of nonviolence, once wrote.

Sadly Gandhi was as clueless as most untrained folks with regard to animals and where we all stand in the world. No BGH in India and nothing but natural breeding but we seem to have a bit of a problem. Cow herd seems a bit out of control here.
