(5,164 posts)hunting culture at all and dont understand it. Doing it for your survival is one thing but its cruel in its own way maybe less for the most part than the slaughter houses. Its not safe and Im sure more than a few people hunt when drinking etc and end up shooting each other or an innocent etc. I visited at a farmhouse in the Perigord and it was awful. Nothing but gunshots in the early evening and dusk and you couldnt go outside for a walk safely. The dogs there were also trained to be vicious except for a roaming beagle who came to visit us. I have to eat meat due to health reasons but I eat free range / humane and I hope to be able to go back to vegetarian or vegan at some point.
Youll never stop guns or hunting in this country that is certain. Making it safer is the only thing that can be done and maybe not even that.
