I have no problem with the idea of raising animals as food. I have a problem with the way most are treated, and with the fact that we kill far, far more than we need to survive.
I wish everyone who eats meat had that attitude! I still believe that meat is unethical and unhealthy, for a host of reasons, but if people are going to eat it, it is better that they murder animals that have lived a long and healthy, natural life.
How do you feel about eating road kill, as an aside? I know in France, roadkill is acceptable fare, and to me this makes a lot of sense if you're going to eat meat.
If it's squirell, no thanks, it's too much work for too little meat that doesn't taste good in the first place.
Rabbit, however, is pretty good no matter which way you look at it, provided you cook it properly. *laugh*
And deer is a DEFINITE yes. I love venison. ...Actually, the first taste I had of venison WAS roadkill, now that I think of it. It was wonderful and, pardon the pun, "fell apart" in one's mouth.
