IOW, Dave ... if you do not personally and immediately cease swallowing

You're absolutely right, there isn't anything I can do or say to
change that. However, that doesn't for one second mean I have to sit
by quietly and not comment where I see fit.

And, however much you disapprove of my comments on hunting, there's
nothing you can say or do to change the fact that for most of us,
hunting is completely unnecessary for survival. It's done for sport
and pleasure ~ something you appear to support and in doing so,
denigrates you far more than you will ever realize.

In my opinion, you're one of the most knowledgeable people on this
newsgroup, but in this subject, it appears you like wallowing in
ignorance.


Yes, hunters do hunt for sport and derive pleasure from it. So what,
as long as they eat the meat? It is no better or worse than raising a
chicken or cow and later eating it.

Big bugs eat little bugs. Birds eat the bugs, we eat the birds. Fish
eat other fish. Lions eat wildebeest. The list goes on and on about
how living things survive in nature.

If you want to claim moral superiority, you have to be a Vegan,
otherwise you are a hypocrite. Animals that live in the woods are no
different than animals that live in a pasture or barn. Eating them is
no different that what every other animal does too.

Tomorrow, for breakfast I'm have blueberry pancakes and bacon. Lunch
is leftover meatloaf made from ground up cow.

I don't hunt, but I do get some pleasure from finding lamb chops on
sale for $4.99 a pound.
