It is because people feel squimish at the sight of a gutted animal. People do not know how to kill for themselves. If it bothers some one to see this
then they should go about their innocence and not complain about those of us who can kill food for ourselves. Mind you that hardly ever does any part
of any animal in the food trade ever get wasted. So in a sense the commercialism of livestock has brought back that part of the circle. I know that
sounds ironic but it is the truth.
Money puts clothes on peoples backs. If you see some one running around in a loin cloth and toga made from bears hide then most will ridicule that
person. They will be ostrisized for not conforming. Therefore when these men get paid to kill these animals the in return are generating clothing and
food for their families.
People as a whole have lost sight of the fact that we are hunters. We kill animals for food. One week on a kill floor of a butcher shop would do alot
of people some good.
I do my best to kill all animals as cleanly as possible when hunting. Things don't always go that way. Things didn't always go that way for the
native americans. If you ever watch nature films, you will see, it very RARELY is a quick and painless death for the prey. Watch lions hunt. What's
funny is that most people aren't disturbed by that. Should the humane society go after the lion prides for their wanton disreguard for animal
"feelings"?
Just because you refuse to put yourself in a predatory role, does not give those the right to critisize those that will. People need to grow up when
it comes to animals. They are not going to create the next cure for cancer or place a colony of themselves on another planet. They will however feed
the beings that will.
All animals are food and or clothing to some other creature on the planet. I don't care if it is a dog or an elephant. It is somethings food or
clothing. The earth kills animals in violent natural events that cause animals to be maimed and tortured but yet you see no one scolding the earth or
"god". Death by nature in any form is natural, will be what most say but we are a part of nature and there for it is natural for us to kill
animals.
All people who talk of "animal cruelty" are self riteous in my book and need to step back and get a reality check. Animals are Animals.
