Hmmm. never meet a fat vegetarian. all the ones I know are very skinny and sick all the time.
I will NOT eat veal after I saw how it is treated, ( calf raised in a small small small cell. (no room to move)
we have large farms all around me. the cows are treated very well
most are for milk.
I have never seen any animal beat to death.
worst I seen was from me. I shot a deer with a black powder bullet.
deer would not go with out a heck of a fight. last bullet did not go off. I had to cut its throat. Since then I have been very carfull to get the deer with 1 shot.
deer meat is about 1/3 to 1/2 of our meat intake here in my house.
I have tried very hard to teach my girls how to live off the land.
we grow a large garden every year. and fish most of the summer. I allways get at least 4 deer each year.
I was afraid they would freak out the first time I butchered one in front of them but they took it very well and thought of it as a learning experience.
My girls know I have a soft side. I cut a beak off a baby bird that fell out of a tree and I hit it with a mower. It really touched me. still tears well up about it.
for me its eat what you kill.
kill for sport. your no friend of mine.
I liked to travel when younger. I tried what the natives eat
dog ( I think. Mexico. not sure what it was. DARN GOOD though)
cricket, ants,. Texas
lizard. AZ and Philippines
monkey. Philippines
horse. AZ
I have been told I ate bat also. ( not sure if that was true)
Snake. TX and AZ (good stuff , and no it don't taste like chicken)
chicken taste like chicken.
oohhh frog legs .and crawdads. man that's good eaten
I do draw the line on bloot. nope no way no how
also fear factor really does make me toss my cookies. now that is sick
if how meat is treated bothers you try hunting your own. very rewording.
never know with the way times are you might need to know whow to get along on your own wits
