Meat Products: Purchase VS. Hunt!

You know what?

If you don't recognize yourself as part of the animals kingdom and as such, part of the food cycle... that's your problem.

Is it hypocritical to say that instead of buying products produced on factory farms under cruel conditions, I will raise animals and let them enjoy their time on earth while treating them with respect and afterwards eating them?


Perhaps, if you have a different definition of hypocrisy then I do. Where did I say live and let live in reference to non humans? As it quite clearly said (and you quoted which really makes me wonder),

Maybe it's my lack of ability with the English language (we'll ignore the fact that it's my only language), but that seems to clearly be referring to people.

Of course, perhaps you consider yourself and animals as equals... if so, I would suggest you strip down to nothing, leave everything behind, and run out into the bush and be equal with your fellow animals.

 

Survival of the fitest, we were all once part of the food chain..we are the fitest bc we have thumbs and the mentality to create.

I come from a long line of country folk, who hunted to provide sustanance for their families.. if it weren't for the ppl like them you would not be here. Your ancestors would have died from starveation and you nor your parents/grandparents would be here.

As an Alternitive Health Care Practioner I'm gonna say something that will probably piss some ppl off, not my intent, you are welcome to live as you please, just stating facts.

Being Vegan is good only to a certain extent. You are very healthy while your alive but Vegans die young from lack of suffienct Protien, not many plants offer up high amounts of protien and protein is what makes us strong to fight off free radicals, infection, and bactieria, to build our blood antibodies and carry oxygen/nutrients throughout our system.

Protien powders are void of life force and only add bulk with vitamins added, plus you have to have a carrier to get it in you. Soy Milk? Still no life force, over processed.

The veggie from the grocery store is almost void of nutrition bc of the use of synthetic fertilizers and over use of the land they're grown in, mass production, lack of organic materials in soil.

If this is an issue of killing, it's up to each individuals conscience to decide. If it was a choice of my life to a cows life, guess which one I'd choose. I don't agree with the methods used to get the meat from birth to the market, but that is what is availible untill there is change in the process.

We live off the land as much as possible. We fish, hunt and raise crops. We raise our own meat and hunt Deer and Wild Hog and we fish the lakes for catfish and perch.. in the country, if you don't kill them, they over populate and eat your crops (except the fish)and you are left hungry and broke bc you could not sell your crop to pay your bills.

We don't do it for sport, we do it to survive. You gonna make us stop eating meat?!? Are you judging us bc we are not made of ticky tac and we are not all the same.

IMO I think hunting is better meat, fresh and not as full of posions.. altho everything is poluted now bc of the air and water quaility, but at least the meat in the woods is not medicated with antibiotics, GH, and poor conditions at the processing plants. Range cows are treated different.. Being in Texas, and Texas being cattle country, we are srounded by pastured cows, they seem happy enough to me.

I suppose we could set them all free and let them roam around your neighborhood, but watch out for the Bull he can get ornry, and carefull where ya step, ya might get some on ya, and you'll just have to deal with the biting flies. You'll get use to the smell too after a while. While we are at it we can release all the zoo animals too and let them roam free, and let's not kill and more fire ants or mysquitos either or any brown recluse, or black widow spiders, and let the snakes slither up your kids swing set. Shall I go on to the rediculas.

You live how you see fit for you, I will live as what works for me, neither choices are wrong. I am not much of a meat eater, bc I eat small portions, but I like my meat, and I like the meat my man provides by getting it himself.. is what I love about him and my life, my rugged country man, who could survive and provide in the middle of the wilderness. One that has morals and is honest and judges none.

It turns me on to just watch him, he's amazing. He lives in nature and is a gaurdain over his flock. His intent is to provide food for the survival of the speices. This food feeds up to 30 ppl at times when there would be nothing to eat at all, in the dead of winter.

So I say.. Hunt over Marketed

sh

 

I distracted myself there with purchase vs raising and never got to the hunting part.. lol

Hunting is definately a better way to go then purchasing commercially prepared foods, without a single doubt.

In terms of hunting vs raising, I consider them equal and more a preference type thing.

 

im 34 and now a 5 month vegetarian and have no clue why i grew up on meat and always ate it. recently i had some kinda revlation and i dont eat meat. I like not eating meat and have no interest in it any more its sooo weird.
