“I do believe in hunting for food. I do think people should respect the animal and use as much of it’s meat and hide as they can. What they can’t use, they should alert others to, so they can use it.”
It might surprise you to know that it’s a law in Africa that the meat not consumed by the hunting party while hunting is given to local tribes. It’s also the law in every state here in the US that the meat of game animals are to be consumed. I guess you wouldn’t like my office since there are several trophies on the wall and might I add they were damn tasty. Hunting is not a sport or a game it’s an instinct that all mankind possess along with every other predator on this earth.
I wonder if this guy gave the meet to a local tribe.
I was not aware of the African or U. S. laws regarding a demand the meet be consumed.
When I stated that I would turn and walk out, I realized that not everyone was “evil” (or something) to have a room like that. It would just make me feel uncomfortable. I’m not sure that’s either good or bad. It’s just me.
I wouldn’t feel right about having a trophy on my wall heralding the kill of an animal. I wouldn’t feel comfortable in a room like that. Again, I’m not making a value judgment here on myself or the person who has a room like this. I just wouldn’t care for it.
It doesn’t bother me that you enjoyed eating part of your kill.
Yes, I agree that it probably is in our makeup to hunt and kill animals. I don’t have a problem with that conceptually.
Look, I’m nor even comfortable with how our food industry treats animals in some instances, so I’m not claiming to be more righteous than others on the subject of the animals we eat.
