We are all dying. Is that a threat parados?

Hunting doesn't make you part of the cycle of life. It doesn't change a thing about the cycle of life you are part of.

Every bird brained environut, when it gets right down to it, will realize that harvested game animals are the most environmentally sustainable source of protein, at least for those willing to harvest AND follow the rules.

Well, I don't feel guilty eating meat because I am eating meat. It's the nature of life.

But I do feel guilty when I eat meat knowing that the animal I just ate probably was partially butchered before it was even dead or that it was beaten to death on the floor of some nasty slaughter house.

Humans are the only animals who torture their food before eating it.

I've seen cats do the same thing to mice - torture them before killing them.

Really?

Well, cats are from the devil so they don't count. :wink:

Well they kind of play with them - sort of let them go and then pounce on them again - after 15 minutes they will kill it and leave it as a gift for you. Being the animal lover I am, I rescued a mouse that was being tortured by my friend's cat.

It would not even be close to sustainable if even one tenth of humans tried to get their protein only from harvested game animals.

Sure it would. It's called managing wildlife. Plus, about 90% of the humans would die because they couldn't provide for themselves.

Michigan sells about 1M deer licenses/year.

A survey of deer hunters was conducted following the 2006 hunting seasons to estimate hunter participation, harvest, and hunting effort. In 2006, an estimated 691,000 hunters spent 10.1 million days afield. Statewide, the number of people hunting deer increased about 3%, but hunting effort was virtually unchanged between 2005 and 2006. Hunters harvested nearly 456,000 deer, an increase of nearly 9% from the number taken in 2005. Statewide, 46% of hunters harvested a deer. About 22% of the hunters took an antlerless deer and 34% took an antlered buck. About 15% of deer hunters harvested two or more deer. (emphasis added)

We seem to be doing a pretty good job of managing the cervids, at least lately. Did you miss the part about 90% of folks not being able to sustain themselves? I'm talking able bodied men and women, not the young, old, or disabled.

It helps to have a feel for the stats you are trying to interpret.
