“... if you don’t eat it, don’t kill it.”
You made me think. We are very sanitized in our contact with life and death. There are some hunters who are moved with bloodlust I suppose but many hunters respect life much more from the hunt.
There at one time was value in the Jewish tradition of kosher, draining your food of the life blood. Now it is a label on a package of hot dogs. At the packing plant the animal is stunned mechanically, and a mechanical knife slits the throat while the eyes roll in the live animal as the blood drains. You can only watch this a few times, that is why it is mechanized, not done as originally done in the Bible.
Most hunters have an extreme understanding and respect for life. It is not just about food.
Great points. Now it’s your turn to make me pause and think.
