Well if a cow jumps my fence I'm taking it down. Deer always do but I can't stand the way it tastes so I let them go. I peg gophers all the time but again, not going to eat them.

Iceland's existance is dependent on meat and without it we would not exist today.

Not eating meat is a 1st world privilege.

Your ancestors could have survived on moss, seaweed and pure glacial water no problem. They only ate meat because they were horrible unethical people.

Gorrilas are vegetarians and are large muscular mammals. Most monkeys don't eat almost any meat and if we are of similar build and makeup then i think humans were meant to be the same, mostly vegetarians.

Carnivores have short intestines to expel the meat from the body quickly not to absorb much of the toxins. Humans have long intestines more for plant digestion.

If you can get away with living happy being a vegetarian then why not? Social pressure? For me it's hard to stay away from a burger or pepperoni pizza.

Try splitting your bbq in two for a summer, one side for meat the other for veggies. See what it looks like in the fall.

India, a third world country seems to be doing fine.

Hunters are the biggest ****ing cowards on earth. They shoot innocent animals that harm no one for the gratification of adding imaginary inches to her dick.

If you want people to have a debate about this subject, that clearly you are passionate about, then try to participate in an actual discussion.
I don't like hunting. But posts like this do nothing when it comes to furthering your position or fostering debate.

You're absolutely right. It was an emotional response.

When did Iceland lose its first world status?

Curious: how do the animals survive that you eat?

Hi Jiri, any chance you could move all of our posts from the gmg thread on this topic over here? If it's a pain to do, don't worry about it, but it has been one of our more thought-provoking conversations in a while and it would be nice to have it under one umbrella if possible. If not, no problem.

To be honest - it would be quite a bit of work. Seems like the discussion is flowing nicely from here.

I will never understand this type of argument.
"Hunters shoot animals cuz they wanna feel like they have a big dick"
Nope, they think hunting is fun and the meat is delicious.

"That guy has a lifted truck, he must have a tiny wang"
Nope, he likes lifted trucks"

The lifted truck comment is unrelated to your post obviously, just another side of that.

You're arguments make me want to stuff my face with as much meat as possible just to spite you.

I see a future vegan. Don't resist, let it go.

How should a human take down a game animal then?

"Hunting is fun". A sport for psychopaths with no empathy for animals whatsoever.

Have you ever been on a hunting trip before SHOGUN?

And that is where you are wrong.

I didn't realize we lived in a province chock full of psychopaths.

I haven't been myself but had a friend go hunting for the first time in the fall.

He came back, not as a cruel psychopath, but with an immeasurable increase of respect for animals and for our ancestors (before we got into animal farming), and a first hand look of what eating meat really means.

He continues to eat meat but if you want to potentially turn someone vegan, send them hunting. Hunting is easily one of the most respectful interactions humans have with animals.
