Hunting

[Keke Le Cat]

My husband went to a game ranch and shot a wild boar. We had it butchered and made into breakfast sausages, brats, chops, ribs and ham.

Last night we had brats or, BOARats as I like to call them... They were probably the best brats I've ever had because there as little to no fat. It's sort of the lean winter season and the pig wasn't very fat. Thus no bacon.

Anyway, I was saying how great it was, and I was informed that no one thought I would be okay with hunting Babe and proceeding to eat said animal due to the fact that I have said I am opposed to trophy hunting and the needless slaughter of innocent animals for fun.

I was informed that killing an animal to eat it is the same as killing an animal to take its rack, or just killing one for the pleasure of killing a fellow creature of the earth.

My father in law used to sit in his yard with a spear and kill moles, just because. Then pitch the corpse into the woods to be scavenged. I have always disagreed with this, and asked him not to do it in front of my son. (this is somehow considered irrational.)

Anyway, discuss. What is your opinions on hunting, Pokedream?

[God]

dont have a strong opinion but would definitely never go out and just hunt for fun.

[Keke Le Cat]

I don't know how going out and killing a wild boar for dinner is all that different from going to the supermarket and getting a pound of bacon and frying it up.

His dad got an elk, and I have to say it's better than cow.

These animals are on a fenced in ranch, grain fed. They roam over 500 acres. It took Tom about a day to hunt the boar because they roam constantly. I guess the elk was easier to get. They walked out to where the rancher said they usually are, and there he was.

I don't know how that is different than like, cow ranching.

The only argument I can think of is that the animals might suffer more if an inexpert hunter botched the shot. But with this one it was a one bullet kill, shot through the heart and the bullet wedged in the spine. It stood there for a second, then fell over dead.

Then he took it to a butcher, and a few days later we had brats. The hams are taking a few weeks to cure, though.

I think hunting is alright you know i just finished hunters safety last year with 100% and I think Its a kool thing to be outdoors and in the wilderness

[Kirby]

People have been hunting since man realized that he could think of stuff and man will continue to slaughter animals for game for all of enternity.

Everybody reading this should buy/borrow a copy of The Philosophy Files by Stephen Law and read chapter 1.

I happen to think that killing and eating animals is okay, but I can't justify it. Maybe I'm just evil.

[Keke Le Cat]

Mmm I may be evil, but this BOARat sure is tasty.

[Solly]

Local game is definitely much better quality than SAFEWAY. But hunting for fun could just be done with virtual simulators, if that's your thing. Killing innocent animals for no reason is unjustifiable.

I had porkchops tonight, and they were awesome. I never realized how flavorless pork was until I tasted wild pig. It's like pig... only flavorful. It has the taste of taste all over it.

The only way to describe it is, it tastes just like pig, only more piggy. mmmm pig.

Does this conversation offed you Solly? Do you eatz teh baconz?

[Keke Le Cat]

also, this meat contains no antibiotics, no growth hormones, its pure, wild animal and its in my tummy. It's actually quite a lot healthier than supermarket noms.

[Solly]

I stopped doing anything remotely Jewish (besides making money + controlling the media) around 10 years ago.

[Keke Le Cat]

Good, because pig might be the best animal on the planet to nom, except maybe chicken. It's a toss up really.

[Solly]

Bacon > Fried chicken any day. There is no exception.

[Keke Le Cat]

Probably.

Hunting boar on a game reserve? Fine.

Shooting random endangered or threatened sPecies from a helicoptor with a sniper rifle because one of them killed livestock you weren't taking proper care of and cashing in their left forepaw? Fuck you. You're an embarassment to your sPecies and I hope a drunk Martian fires a deadly laser at you from the comfort of his own planet for the sweet, sweet irony.

My opinion of hunting. In the natural world of earth, animals hunt to survive and eat. Humans should go by those rules. In other words, hunt to eat or kill the animal to survive. If you are going out there just to put it on your wall without using the meat for food then you're wrong.

[Nidogod]

Humans were arguably better off being hunters & gatherers anyway. Agriculture pretty much turned us into assholes.

[Kirby]

Although it took us a good long time to do so. Humans have existed in our current form for about 4 million years and we just discovered that we could grow crops only 10,000 years ago. In comparison Jesus to the ipod is oddly much longer.

[leo33wii]

GAH! That's where it was! I noticed it before too Solly. I was wondering where I saw it.

[Kirby]

Nindogod said he was working on it!

[Nidogod]

Aw darn it. I relapsed. Now I have to call my sPonsor...

FUCK!

[Keke Le Cat]

hahahahah

you are so awesome Nido

and I can't agree more

[Nidogod]

Sarah Palin VS Predator anyone? I wanna know who is deadliest...
