I’m not talking about the consumption of animals here, to be clear. What I’m talking about is spending days and a bunch of money planning to kill something, doing the killing, and skinning/eviscerating what was killed, and often displaying the stuffed corpse. Hunters and fishers refuse to admit they’re obsessed with taking pleasure in killing something.

Miss me with the “tradition” stuff, it’s just peer pressure from the dead and a fallacious argument. Don’t tell me it’s to eat, like I said, I’m not talking about the consumption here, so please prove to me you are literate by not bringing up that point. And don’t tell me you’re respectful to the animals you kill; I don’t believe the planning, stalking, and killing is a good way to show respect.

    I’m specifically talking about the extra steps required to kill something personally. Which is why I tried to avoid talking about meat consumption in the post. And you and several other people ignored that.

    Yes, because those extra steps, are just extra steps along the exact same spectrum of disassociation that everyone who eats meat undergoes.

    You are trying to draw a line in the sand and then arrange a question around that line, and you can’t seem to comprehend it when everyone points out that the line is stupid and doesn’t exist anywhere but your own mind.

    But I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by that behavior from people that think torturing fish is a fun activity.

    I see that your reading comprehension is about as strong as your social skills.
