I don't like hunting either. I don't do it, as I love animals too much. Something I get from my father, I guess...


BUT--

I have NO problem with others hunting. If they don't then the deer and other varmint population (already quite large) will grow out of control. Already, I see a lot of deer when I am driving, and have hit 2, over the last 10 years or so. Many of my relatives are hunters, in fact, my cousin's 11 year old daughter, is becoming quite proficient with a bow and arrow. she does go on hunting trips with him.

I am also quite a meat eater, and that is NOT going to change. One of my favorite dishes is barbecue ribs, from Damons. I DO know where the ribs(and other meat) comes from, btw.

So yes, I am in favor of hunters, and animal consumption. I own a 20 gage, for protection, and totally support the 2nd amendment.

Classic!

Ditto that. This guy is one hell of a writer.

Good for you.

I think people have the right to not kill animals, but have a problem with all the ones who want to tell others they can't.

Without hunters, and revenue from hunters, there wouldn't be any (or many) deer or wild turkey.

[girlangler]

cyborg,

No problem. I used to think killing deer was wrong too, but I had to do a lot of research on the subject and learned a lot about why hunting is an essential wildlife management tool. And, what hunters' dollars have done for wildlife.

I don't like the AR types who want to outlaw hunting, but have no problem with someone not hunting. I did not mean to offend you and hope I didn't.

[cyborg]

No offense taken!

It turns out the in Sear’s book “Zone” you learn that without the ballast of protein the body enters a quasi-carbo-poisoned mode where the whole body is stressed and this includes the brain.
I remember seeing a movie about deprogramming and the first thing they did was replace the coolaid and brownies with toast and peanut butter.

straight women and gay men get along.

I can 'get along' with anyone if I have to (i.e. at work), but I wouldn't ever choose to be friends with a homosexual. Our values would be too different.

Also, we are he only primate with indistinguishable canines. All the other have enlarged canines which they use as weapons. Our immediate forebearers also had reduced canine teeth?

I have prominant canines. My college buddy from Greece used to joke that it proved I was descended from barbarians, lol.

Maybe from Dracula!!!
