I don't have a problem with killing critters for food. Whether I do it or have someone else do it for me does not alleviate the responsibility. It is the natural order of our world for predators to eat their prey. Almost everything is some kind of predator. But, as I have gotten older I have noticed that I enjoy watching many critters more than I enjoy eating them. I guess it is good that we think plants have no feelings. |

No kidding! We always have vegetarianism if our aversion to premeditated death gets to be too much for us. You're right, though that it doesn't really matter who does the actual killing. It's just easier to get it already packaged up and not have to look into those big brown or beady little eyes of your intended victim. |

well I agree, I enjoy watching critters to, but I also like hunting once in a while. |

I have no one particularly in mind, but hunting must be difficult for some people because of the need for silence. |

Jess, I'm sure you can be quite quiet. I imagine you can become quite quiet quickly and just as quickly quite quietly quit. |

Dang! I just thought he was stuttering and wasn't going to mention it. I didn't realize he was waxing eloquent! |

Waxing may be beneficial but is not necessary. My eloquent is very smooth by itself. |

Yeah, but it does get kind of hairy from time to time. |

Is that hair or could it just be mold? |
