I appreciate and respect your view point although I do not agree with your rationalization. Bottom line as we both agreed it starts with changing one's self.
I personally think that we as humans are programmed to eat meat and it's an important part of our diet. But I also believe its our duty to kill animals with respect and care. Native Americans never wasted ANY part of a kill. They utilized everything they could. These days hunting and fishing are very irresponsible. I was watching a show on CNN a few nights ago about shark fishing competitions in Maine where people would literally go out and kill huge sharks and bring the back for a cash prize then toss the corpse. There are also people that catch sharks and cut off there fins to make purses and leathers and toss the shark(still alive) finless back into the ocean. Bottom line: I think we should still hunt/fish but more responsibly than we are right now. And I just don't understand vegetarians that say eating animals is wrong. Because humans have been doing it for thousand of years right?
redsea said:I have heard of people cutting the fins off too and putting them back in the ocean, it is terrible, I don't know how people can do that.
I agree. That of course does not mean that I personally will not do my part to stop these practices (like boycotting some products). I will never eat shark-fin soup and I never eat foreign imported meat. Just my personal choice.Very true Ronnie, as said these people will do it anyway, they wouldn't listen to any of us who care.
