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.

    what are those “dumb arguments” and why do you disagree? you just push away everyone’s arguments without giving any valid reason

      • you kill insects so you’re just as bad
      • But I eat it so it’s ethical and respectful (nothing to do with the opinion I expressed)
      • Cats are different than game
      • Population control (nothing to do with the opinion I expressed)

      I’m pushing away the arguments because they don’t actually address my point. They’re bad rhetoric. THEY are not giving valid reasons, it’s the same stuff I’ve heard before and it’s still bad rhetoric, that’s why I’m pushing them away. Pick one and we can go through it if you want.
