SR XXIII: Careful With That Axe, Varg

Well, that is one way of putting the whole animal to use

When we had chickens we would butcher them ourselves, as well as the pigs. I got used to the chickens but I never could watch the pigs. After they are dead I am pretty OK with skinning/cutting them up.

My first one tore me up a bit because the moment I pulled the trigger I took away all it ever had in the beauty of nature. The second wasn't so bad. But yeah, I won't kill anything other than pests now. Dude, why would you kill deer, ducks and goats?  What the f**k have they ever done to you? I did see a deer killed once but that was only because it walked in front of my car and a farmer came along and put it out of its misery.  I felt dreadful. Besides, I thought a crossbow was sufficient to kill a deer with?

Why?

I'll tell you why. Humans eat meat. The meat you eat came from something living that is now dead. If you have a problem with killing animals. DON'T EAT F**KING MEAT. I killed that deer for the venison with my father. That venison didn't go to waste, the deer died fast, and it wasn't inhmanely treated like it would be stuck in some mindless processing plant somewhere in a sh*tty city block. If people have a problem with hunting and then still eat meat, it's a moral dichotomy, and they fail. I don't have a problem with killing, it's as natural as life itself. I only have a problem with idiots who kill for no reason, and fail to respect nature.

We're all just pawns in nature's circle anyway.

Ducks and goats are pests here. Farmers can kill them within reason, although Duck hunting season is specifically put aside for that reason. Deal with it. You could kill a deer with a crossbow, yes, or a rifle. Either way the consequence is the same.

No please don't I don't want PETA nuts everywhere.

I don't eat as much meat as I used to.  Most of the time it has be dressed-up too.  I just don't want to eat meat that looks like the dead animal. 

I was mostly curious about the goats.  Goats aren't really a delicacy, so I wondered why you were killing them?

They want to start a Badger cull over here because they think they're causing Tuberculosis in cattle.

I'm against this, naturally.
