Default RE: Tough Question

The blue pills, Hazcon. The blue ones.

I spent much of my childhood and teenage years on my grampa's farm, so I've always known where food comes from and what you have to do to get it. A farm kid knows there's no shame in killing an animal for food, either wild or domestic. Nor is there any shame in eliminating animals that are a threat to your crops or livestock. Some animals die so others can live. That's Nature. As bad as a lot of people try to pretend it ain't so, humans are still part of nature.

Even if you live your life eating nothing but veggies and fruit, you are killing animals. There is no telling how many ground nesting birds, rabbits, gophers and such are killed by farmers plowing their fields to plant crops. Even though you didn't kill the animals yourself, by eating the produce from those fields you had a hand in it. It's a fact of nature.

Now, that's not to say I don't think there are some shameful reasons to kill animals. For instance, the guys who do it to take a big set of horns and leave the meat and hide to rot...[:@]
