Looking for an adult conversation.

I eat meat. Love it. I have tapered off on quantity. For my health.

I hunt on occasion. I’m not a rabid hunter, but I do enjoy getting out and after the tasty ones. Varying levels of success. Mostly; I hunt like a vegetarian.
I certainly see the positive side of hunting. The animal lives free and happy. Natural. That is until a hunter comes along. That part does suck for the critter. But compare that to the bulk of the animals coming from the meat producers. That isn’t a happy life. And the ending I imagine is at least an entire day of fear.

My wife loved pork. (All Chinese people do). She wanted to dispatch her own pork; so we did. Raised a hog, then did the wet work when it came to size. Talk about peeking behind the curtain and seeing how they make the sausage. Let’s just say that she now eats very little pork. And we did it very humanely. Quiet walk to a big pile of cut apples....pop!

So, eating meat. Buying it from the stores: that insulated the general population from the grittier aspects no?

In general. Anyone do their own butchering. Chickens? Etc? You 100% packaged meat eaters. No interest in trying it once?

Not all of my meat consumption “slow down” is for health. Wish I could farm my own more and I wish I was a better hunter as well.
