(135,425 posts)Some people like being self-reliant, and doing a job properly and well, particularly one that is difficult and takes skill to do correctly. There is a "thrill" in achieving these sorts of goals. Hunting is just one self reliant, difficult job if done well (and the killing bit might be the worst/most depressing part of it, for all we know--we'd have to ask), making furniture or building a barn is another. Preparing a wedding cake for 300 that looks like a Ferrari might be another "thrill."
The guy that died is the one that first caught Chicken Eater's grief--the dude who finds a thrill in doing a job well is just a side target because he noticed her hypocrisy--as did others.
Reread the whole thread.
It's a hypocritical stance. Ya don't like deer hunting, ya shouldn't be eating meat. This dead guy wasn't hunting rhinos so he could have a head for his den-he was hunting deer because venison was on the menu.
And yeah...what Aerows said, too.
