Of course. Sorry again about the relative question, that was a personal hit, I wasn't really thinking when I wrote it. Personal attacks are stupid on the internet, I know nothing about you and you know nothing about me, and that is true for everyone here.

Back to the topic. I do agree with you of the treatment of animals that are raised for slaughtering, sometimes they are treated pretty awful. A lot of guys I have known who are hunters or fishers have a lot of respect for animals they kill and who make a point to be as waste less as possible (then again I know of some with no regard for the animals they kill). I am completely against pointless killing of animals, or merely killing them for sport. But I do not see a problem with killing them if you are going to eat them. I fish and that is essentially killing them for sport, but I also enjoy cooking them and eating them just as much as I enjoy catching them. I would rather eat the fish I catch than buy fish from the grocery store and support salmon farms which treat the fish very poorly.
