You keep telling me that there are non-animal "options"......anoth er word for choices. I do not choose the same path as you. That doesn't make either one of us wrong, it makes us individuals with choices. I don't see anything wrong with either choice. If anything, my choice is shared by many, many more humans than yours is. Does that make your choice wrong? I don't think so. I only know it is not the choice for me. You still haven't addressed my question about other omnivorous primates making tools to hunt and eat other animals. Is that natural? They were not taught to do this by man. Yet that is exactly what man does.

<quoted text>Yes it's another word for 'choices' and your choices involve causing deliberate harm and death to other beings, mine do not. When your or anyone else's choices are causing other beings to suffer and die, then you can be sure that I will continue to speak out against it. It's not just a matter of trivial choices like what football team is the best or what car is the sportiest, these are choices that cause deliberate harm and death and people like me will never condone any activity that causes harm and death to innocent beings. You just need to accept that. These are after all the ANIMAL RIGHTS forums and typically it is geared towards the people who fight to protect ALL animals, because all animals lives matter.
What other animals do has NOTHING to do with what humans choose to do. I find it almost amusing that many humans like to think they are 'superior' to all other animals, yet it seems they want to try and justify what they (humans) do by equating themselves to primates and what they do. We not only have a choice, but we have the capability of using reason as well as empathy and compassion. The thought of seeing a deer, a rabbit, a squirrel and then shooting them and watching them die moments after they were simply LIVING their lives makes me sick. I watch squirrels and rabbits in my yard and they bring peace to my heart and make me smile. I can't imagine being so heartless as to see such beauty and joyfulness and then take aim and blast the life from these incredible little beings. I am glad that I have grown to have genuine compassion, empathy and respect for animals and I will fight against all animal cruelty as long as I am on this Earth.

<quoted text>Humans are animals. We are omnivorous primates. Humans are superior to other animals in some respects and not in others. All life comes from the same source. What other animals do has everything to do with the natural choices humans make. That's why there is no difference between my hunting and the hunting of other predators, other than the fact that human hunting is regulated to protect and strengthen the prey species being hunted. Just because I hunt does not mean I have no respect for the animals I hunt. Quite the contrary, I have a great deal of respect for the animals I hunt. The prey I take do not suffer either. I have never lost a wounded animal and I can't remember the last time I didn't make an almost instant kill. I am a patient hunter and I'm confident in my skills. I would rather let a prey animal walk than take a risky shot. I'm not out there to prove anything to anyone. In the immortal words of Clint Eastwood "A man's got to know his limitations." I know mine and I feel no need to try to step outside of them. I know I've told you this before but it's worth repeating. I learned much of my philosophy from Native Americans and I emulate them in more than just my hunting. There are rabbits and squirrels living in my yard too, I do not hunt them. I don't hunt them because they are not truly wild. They are semi-tame pets, people in the neighborhood feed them and they are not accustomed to viewing humans as predators. It would be like shooting fish in a barrel. The animals I hunt live free in the wild and are adept at avoiding predators.
I'm very tired after a long busy day and I'm starting to ramble so I'm going to hit the sack. I know you don't condone hunting or eating meat but I know in my heart that it is the most natural thing in the world. I respect your decisions and your convictions but I have mine too and they differ from yours. Through polite conversation like this I've gained some insight about you and your beliefs and it is hoped that you have learned something of me and mine.

<quoted text>Well, I will never agree with you about hunting, but it was nice to at least converse without so much anger and insults. You and Pete (peteo) have been the only hunters on topix that ever showed signs of decency (though you both were jerks more than a few times too ;) The other idiots here have crossed a line too many times and stooped to levels that were far beyond what a rational, decent person would ever stoop to, and I will never respect or converse seriously with any of them.

I will keep fighting against all animal cruelty. As you know, I am in a minority right now, but we are growing every day. Just over 25 years ago I barely knew of the term 'vegan', I think I even mispronounced it as "vay-gun" initially. I was the only vegan I knew for quite some time, and now I see and hear the word and meet more vegans just about every day. We are more mainstream and it seems only the most ignorant (such as the disgusting trolls here on topix) that spend time condemning vegans/ARAs. In real life, the people I encounter are intrigued and inquisitive and I have lost count through the years of how many people I have inspired and guided to live a more compassionate, healthier life. This is not just a trend or a fad, I am witnessing a greater awareness and younger people are the greatest hope. I do believe in my lifetime I will see a more compassionate world, maybe not 100% as I would hope, but I do believe that the number of vegans is going to increase more in the next decade than ever before...

<quoted text>Nor are you accurate. I don't care what hunters "aim" to do, the FACT is that countless animals are wounded by hunters and left to suffer in agony for hours, days, weeks or and/or are left crippled for whatever time left they have. I know there are many 'hunter' who don't give a dam' and they even make 'snuff' videos of the maiming and suffering they cause animals as the hunters hoot, holler and laugh while the animal suffers before their eyes. Hunters are their own worst enemy and their snuff films are being seen everywhere---especially on youtube.
Hunting does NOTHING but assure that there will will plenty more live 'targets' to maim, mutilate and murder year after year and year. It;s referred to as Compensatory Rebound Effect http://defendurbanwildlife.org/news/Compensat...
You claim that hunting "makes the herds stronger
and healthier"??? There is NOTHING sane , sensible or logical is mass murdering the healthiest, fittest strongest animals and THAT is what hunters strive to do. They don't kill the scrawny, weak, sickly deer like NATURAL predators do to keep herds in check, There is NOTHING rational or ethical in killing healthy animals. I don't care what propaganda and lies you have been fed by hunters or hunting organizations, it only takes simple common sense to realize that hunting is a sham. Hunting is a multi BILLION dollar industry and the number one concern is making money. Less than 7% of the U.S. are licensed hunters and those numbers are declining. The majority are learning the TRUTH behind the hunting sham and I will continue to help inform people. There is no reason to hunt and there is no reason to eat animal corpses. Humans do not need to eat animal corpses and there are millions of people who are living proof of this.
