Thread: Apparently Gamebird shooting is cruel? Raving Vegan??????

Yea Sideshow but the vegan idea of hunting is that these hapless creatures need the protection of brave vegans. Not that they have developed ways of surviving. If you've ever watched Life Below Zero (if not check it out) there was a guy called Glen (I think) who lived alone in the Brookes Range of Alaska with no machinery. One day while he was out hunting he says, "There are no animals that evolved to be food for other animals. Everything out here is trying to survive, even the plants and trees don't want to be eaten." The idea vegoes have is that you walk into a field and shoot into the sky and some cute ducks fall out of the sky ready to eat. Because they don't understand the hours and hours it takes to create a habitat, train a dog, maintain a gun, process meat, hide yourself, have patience and stealth, etc., etc. (neither do I but I'm working on it). And that's not to say anything about the generations that incrementally developed and passed down these tools and skills. Same with all kinds of hunting.

When you simplify the process to it's grossest terms you can have the luxury of acting as if it's the lowest form of human behavior, not the highest.
