By the time I was eight I had a bb gun and was trapping mice. weasels, and skunks... By the time I was 10 I had a .22, a paper route, and a trap line. Bagged my first deer when I was 12, and gutted it mostly myself.
I swear, y'all are touched in the head - I think it should be a requirement for everyone to live for one year only eating what they can kill. It would sure enough get rid of this phony-ass fuzzy bunny bull crap.
I almost pray for SHTF, just for the massive cognitive correction it will impose upon such folks.
I agree. I don't have a problem if people in this country eat dog meat. I mean, why not?

You beat me by a couple of years. In those years prior to getting my first BB gun, I was still catching minnows and crawdads in the creek next to the house to feed to my turtles and alligator.
Hunting and fishing are an necessary and important part of responsible conservation. Being stupid about life and the food chain is...well, stupid. And yet, for some reason "for food" is not the same as "for sport".
My first point is that those feelings I was talking about exist in all of us. They're built-in and part of the OEM design. Not having them is a serious design flaw worthy of a recall.
And, I agree with you that the more "city-fied" a person is, the stronger and perhaps more irrational those feelings can be.
My second point is also agreeing with you that nothing short of SHTF is going to change those feelings as they are generally applied by the general population today.
So, in situations like this, arguing against emotion is like spitting into a wind that soon turns into a hurricane. None for me, thanks, but hey, if that's what you're into...
Personally, I think it might work better, for example, to use The Planned Parenthood Nightmare Series currently playing like a sail, tacking tactfully into that wind to move something important together in the right direction.
There must be a better way to do that than to pick a fight over emotions, about how "wrong" one is compared to another and so is the person for having it.
Yeah, that's a winner. People love that stuff. Especially women! (Who make up about half of the population, btw)
