How do you feel about killing for meat?

Well thank you very much, HHB. I'll definately look into it.

 

always glad to help..

 

i dont kill animals for food so i dont feel bad

though i wish more people would hunt and less people would pay for factory farmed meats


i love movies about hunting accidents or people getting gored by the stag they are stalking. actually, i really love it when the elephant at the circus gets fed up with being whipped and used for entertainment and raises up against his oppressors and tramples its trainer and other circus patrons to death and storms the city, heading downtown, leaving a trail of death and destruction in its wake.

those are my favorite kinds of movies

 

I feel fine about it.

I want to kill a deer with only a knife. I'll be naked so I can feel the kill coming, I'll approach the beast with perfect love and kill it swiftly, to give him the dignity in death he deserves. I'll bathe in the moonlight in the bucks blood, thanking it for giving it's life to sustain myself and those I love.

 

Swoon. You should post this on literotica.com.

 

I cook with an iron skillet every chance I get!

Do you wash yours with soap? I know a lot of people do, I was raised to let it sit on a hot burner then wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
They're a little expensive, but you can find a good, affordable one at a flea market. They're worth the money!

 

If you wash it with soap you ruin the seasoning :cheers2:

My mom always cooks with iron cookware, I love visiting her. She makes the best eggs and toast ever.

 

I'd have no problem shooting a deer in the head, and having venison.

one shot, one kill.

however, an animal killed cruelly, that has suffered needless pain.

bothers me, significantly.


edit: realized I switched words because I was listening to something and typing at the same time, hate when that happens.

 

You could give me the grand tour of a slaughterhouse and that would be enough to make me go totally vegetarian. I don't want to think about how they're killed, what's done to them etc... so hell no, I couldn't kill for meat. I eat it because so far, I'm too lazy to become a vegetarian. I just don't think about it but the whole thing's fucked up.

 

Yeah, there is nothing like a good steak seasoned with the taste of cancer. :cheers2:

 

No, I could not kill my own meat.

I was a vegetarian for years, before I became pregnant with my oldest son. But I started craving red meat like crazy during my pregnancy with him and figured my body must have needed the extra iron.

Anyway, I love animals, but yes, I do eat some of them.

That being said, I tend to be in a state of self induced denial when it comes to how they ended up in my local grocery store. Purchasing it at the store isn't hard, but I don't want to think about how they ended up there. And the thought of having to kill an animal with my own hands and then be expected to eat it? No way. I'd most definitely become a vegetarian again, no doubt whatsoever.

 

There is no meat without a little killing.

 

I have no problem with it and I have done it before.

I do have a problem with killing for sport, in my opinion that is the lowest form of humanity and only done by brainless zombies who want to feel like they are god, when in reality they most likely have an IQ lower than my shoesize and are married to their sisters.

 

That is your opinion. The animal in the cage actually suffers less, because it does not know that another life is possible... while the rat that the ants eat from inside out suffers slightly more, if you want to measure it.

I do not see how houses and such things make up superior in any way. Our language is also far less complex than the language of some animals. Can you notify your entire community of something at once and have them respond at the same second?

 

I've always had the opinion that eating meat is fine, but I think that you should have to earn it by hunting it. It's more natural that way, and if you can't hunt it, you don't eat it. More and more people are growing their own vegetables due to prices, pesticides, etc. It gives you a sense of earning your food that you can't get from just walking in some where and putting your money in someones hand. I plan to do this when I have the resources to do so.

 

why is growing vegetables earning your food but raising your own animals for meat is not?

 

It is. I just didn't address raising your own animals in my post. I was just talking about hunting them. But since you brought it up, yea, I think raising your own animals would also be a good thing to do in order to earn your food and doing it creates a sense of purpose and self respect you just can't get from shopping.

 

well good now i can feel good about myself when i go out later and kill the bunnies..

 

lol. I will now always have the impression of you as being like Lenny from 'Of Mice and Men'.

 

I really don't eat a whole lot of meat. If I do, it's usually just the odd chicken fillet from subway. I have no problem handling meat; I worked at a fauna rehabilitation for a few months once, and everyday I would have to defrost some mince from the freezer and mix it up along with some seed and sliced lettuce to feed to a mob of magpie's they were keeping.

I'd have to defrost mice and baby chickens too. The other volunteer's and I would call them "mouse-sickles and "chick-sickles". Sometime's they'd get stuck together so I had to hit the bag on the side of a table a few times to dislodge one and then drop it into a jug of warm water. After they were defrosted, I'd feed them to the tawny frogmouths, and the kestral.

I can do all of that, no problem, I just dislike cutting up meat.
