In reply to the discussion: Why is hunting so sacred? [View all]Hoyt

One "harvests" crops, and "murders" living creatures. To say "harvesting" doesn't change what it is.

You list a lot of good ideas. Another area I'd consider is requiring some kind of insurance.

LOL! But you'll alienate your ally right here on DU by calling HIM names. Seems like that's OK.

I think hunting with bare hands and teeth is okay if you eat everything you kill.
