How many of you enjoy watching wild animals hunt? If so, do you feel that this is a wild part of yourself that has been suppressed by "civilization"? In other words, is there a side of you that would enjoy the act of killing?
I think it's funny to watch my cats chase things, but they're kind of fucked up and like to torture the animals they catch.
We don't have to be predators. I don't miss that part of me. Maybe I do. I often wish we could just raise kids, hunt, gather, dance to tribal beats.... my heart learns for times past that I may or may not have experienced. I don't want to kill though. I agree with kinky- my cats are little bitches...so cruel....
it's natural for cats to be vicious. you know mountain lions have been seen killing and tearing apart deer just for practice or maybe some yummy heart and liver. it's their instinct. dave came home with a wonderful little 2 year old spike bull. it's just the right size for our freezer. we've got clean, free ranging, hormone free wild game in our freezers, and the tale is always a bittersweet one. it's always sad to see an animal in pain. so you try to make it's death as fast as possible.
kc.... ive always admired the habits surrounding you and your families meat eating. my good friend whos on here, josh (kyndveggie) .. he became veggie again and im so proud of him. maybe someday again for me but i think just treating the meat you eat with respect- you know, no cruel and unusual punishment for the animals either is hella cool.
Hi Lodui! I almost wrote you a pm when bllllaazzed last night but I was too slow in thought and had too many ppl. talking... what's up? predatory nature...... kinda a sexy thing......heh
me too. small animals can tell. i had a feeling that dave was going to be gifted with an elk opening morning. he wasn't going to go, but i talked him into it. he had some closing rituals to tend do in his old hunting grounds. opening morning, out with his bow, his spike walked right up to him and stood there, 10 yards away. dave shot it, it ran a few yards, and laid down. it's sad AND it's triumphant. he was a beautiful gift.
I don't particularly "like" watching them hunt, but I do like watching animals behave in general in the wild. It's interesting to look at them and think they're all pretty much just acting on instinct, and it makes we wonder how much of what we as humans do is based on instinct and how much free will we actually have. I also don't particularly "enjoy" killing myself, but I've hunted before and don't really have a problem with it, it's just really not my thing.
I'd love to tackle a deer with a knife. Naked as it's blood runs over me as I prepare it for dinner for the people I love.
FUCKING HOT. i can't get enough of looking at him today. he's just gorgeous. and we have two full freezers.
