[QUOTE="cody6766, post: 2779124, member: 26511"] I'll preface this by saying that I don't hunt. I've never been able to get past the idea of lining an animal up in my sights and killing it. I know I'll feel bad about it and don't think I ever will unless I'm stuck in the woods without food. I'm also not opposed to others hunting and I'd be happy to butcher the already dead animal if I can eat some. I just don't want to do the killing. Hunting a giraffe is no different than hunting a deer, kitten, fish or grasshopper in anything but perception. Animals are animals, meat is meat. In each circumstance an animal is killed and eaten, but certain people value some animals more than others. Cute animals, or zoo animals seem to be held in higher regard than cows and pigs. Americans don't eat horse, many Europeans do. Plenty of people won't eat 'meat' but they'll eat the flesh of those critters with gills and call themselves pescatarians because cows can have sad eyes and fish have an empty stare. I wonder how many of those people realize that mammal meat is mammal muscle and fish meat is fish muscle. It's all the same if the emotional attachment to the animal is taken out. It's fine to not want to eat kitten, but it's not right to call those that do monsters. [/QUOTE]
