Why is hunting so sacred?

because the meat is excellent and healthier than anything I can buy in a store. I will also say it is part of the culture here in Montana. We also grow a garden and raise chickens. Hunting is part of providing food for our family just like the garden and the chickens - being self reliant is something we are trying to teach our child so that if he has to, he knows he can provide for himself. We're not weird preppers either, if that's where you're going.

My husband has owned a taxidermy shop for 30 years. 99% of his clients are ethical fair chase hunters and I don't know any of them who don't fully utilize the meat. If they don't use it themselves, they donate to the local food bank or soup kitchen. I can afford to buy meat in the store but choose not to. Factory farming is cruel beyond measure. The first thing I ask someone who states they are an anti-hunter is whether or not they eat meat. Meat doesn't come from the store. It comes from an animal who most likely lives a miserable tortured existence until it dies a horrible death.

Edited to add: I firmly believe that the AR15 and other assault style weapons have no place in this country. NO place in the hands of anyone outside the military.

I take extreme exception to being called an idiot. Thank you very much.
