See this looks pretty alright to me. The company might not always be the best but you get to try different wild game. The cooking photo is just them taking a silly photo. And you know why I really want to go: Talking to a crowd of people if "stick a pig" is the funniest thing ever or 100% serious.
You do know that the whole 'hunting wild game' thing they're talking about is hunting captive animals in what is essentially a wild animal farm, right? They're not all taking trips to the Serengetti. They're shooting those animals right there in Texas. It's disgusting.
What's the difference if the animals were going to be slaughtered anyway?
I wish I was brave enough to be vegetarian but I'm not.
I would say that ethically, hunting an animal that has lived a normal, free life is very different from hunting an animal that's been a captive all its life. Especially if the former is done for reasons other than sport. Deer hunting is necessary in a lot of places because the elimination of their natural predators requires it. Otherwise the population would explode and there would be mass starvation.
Sometimes hunting actually reduces suffering for the species as a whole. On top of that, deer hunters usually eat at least part of their kill even if they keep some of it as a trophy.
Fair enough. I live in West Virginia in a neighborhood where deer walk around sometimes 14 deep. They aren't scared of people or cars. I have a deep understanding of how deer hunting prevents a far worse situation. And deer meat is good.
As to your point, it's a good one. I'm just saying these animals were going to live a shitty life and be slaughtered anyway so why would the method of execution matter as long as it is painless as possible.
Yeah! Why can't they make their chili out of factory farmed animals like civilized people dammit!
See my response, re: hunting more ethically and keeping populations in check that would otherwise cause far more deaths.
Or not. Your choice.
Hard pass.
Yeah, why read anyone's clarification when you can just say something unnecessarily combative? You're right. But I'm not going to continue this.
