AmiKit and Terms of Use

[RRunner]

I enjoy meat too, I hunt from time to time and I fish. Being a sportsman doesn't mean I disrespect nature or my surroundings, in fact if anything, it has given me a greater appreciation and respect for my environment! Nothing upsets me more than when people disrespect their environment through litter, polluting, vandalism, etc. So am I banned from using AmiKit?  :-D

Sorry but hunting is wrong, and dont give me any {bleep} about how its no different to me eating meat bought from a butchers, and that you eat what you kill.  These are not valid excuses anymore, you hunt for Sport and not to survive.  That makes you and many others very sick people in my opnion (which I am entitled to by the way).

Have you been to a corporate slaughterhouse? Have you seen how they commercially slaughter animals for food? Do you have any idea how cruel that is to animals? If you feel that strongly, I would suggest that you become a vegetarian.

A friend of mine used to work in a meat processing plant where they slaughtered cows and pigs. After hearing what goes on there with the animals, I seriously considered boycotting pre-packaged meat. Hunting is far more humane in my opinion (and from what I've seen and heard).

Just my $0.02 worth... and yes, you are definitely entitled to your opinion. I wouldn't dream of trying to convince you otherwise.  :-D

Yawn heard it all before.  yes I do know howw horrible livestock is treated.  And its a known fact that meet tastes better if the animal was scared before death.

99% of the time the animal shot in the wild is NOT scared when it is taken down. Usually it is not even aware that I am around. If the animal is spooked and runs, chances are good that I'm not going to take the shot.

When cattle are taken in for slaughter, they are put in a pen then herded up an isle into the building. One by one they are taken down. They see their "buddies" ahead of them "get it". They smell the blood, they smell death. They know what is coming. If you have ever seen cattle in these lines you can see the fear, the panic in their eyes as they are driven towards their end.

That sounds like torture to me... but then again, it is just my opinion.   :-D
