Hunting

RussellTuring · 2011-01-03 14:56:33

I don't know if this is the appropriate place for this and it may have been raised before, but a couple of days ago I was on facebook and in my stream saw that someone with whom I had a mutual friend posted a photo of a rabbit he'd shot while hunting. Now, of course, I'm sure the vast majority of you would dislike the idea…

Thanks for that adrenalinejunkie. I'd never heard of drag hunting before. It seems like something those who like hunting can do without necessarily involving the death of an animal. But, adrenalinejunkie, do you eat meat? And if you do, do you find shop-bought meat easier to palate than animals which you've killed yourself?

Yes I do eat meat but I can't give you an answer to this as I have never killed an animal myself, I don't see how me killing it would affect it's palatability. I always try to eat ethically raised meat but as I said I don't eat anything remotely gamey and would have issues with the lack of regulation on how its prepared for human consumption. Livestock have to be humanely killed and prepared for human consumption by someone with a licence to do so and this is heavily regulated. I'm under no illusions where my food comes from, I was born and raised on a farm and have worked in the meat industry (although in an administrative context).
