Re: Another thought on the moose post
[ QUOTE ]
once again, i have no interest in hunting at all, but i suppose many hunters place a very low value on the value of the life of an animal, and can rationalize away the pain involved by considering that all over the world animals are being killed (painfully) at any given moment. being killed and eaten is a natural part of being a predated animal.

Do you eat meat? I'm just curious, because you sound like a vegetarian (which is totally cool by me). At least I hope you are, because if you're not, your logic sucks.
The moral difference between buying meat at a supermarket and killing the animal yourself is pretty negligible. Would you say that murder represents a lack of respect for human life, but ordering a hit on someone is fine? If you want an analogy, that's it right there. Either way, an animal dies so you can eat meat -- the only difference is, in one case you're paying someone else to actually kill the animal so you can live in denial.
