Steven Call said:"Those who buy meat in the store with no thought about where it came from are the true savages." Thank you! You beat me to that point. I do not hunt, but death is part of the "natural order", big animals feed off of little animals, so on and so forth. I feel very strongly that if someone is unable to butcher a mammal or bird, pull the guts from it's abdominal cavity, skin, pluck, and otherwise prepare it for consumption, then that person has not "earned" the right to consume it's flesh. This notion that certain animals are "cute" or more worthy of consideration is just total nonsense. It is the height of hypocrisy to jump up and down about a few whales or seals and then sit down to a meal containing chicken, pork, or beef from animals that have never experienced anything close to a "natural" existence. They were conceived, raised, butchered, often just to end up in a dumpster somewhere because their human consumer was "just not that hungry". Give me a break....Civilization indeed!
