Doc Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 This is a fantastic article. It states the case for hunting quite well. The only trap that she might have fallen into is the reciting of the usual lists of agricultural animal abuses that the vegans and animal rights people are so fond of. Yes, there are clear differences between the humanity of hunting vs. the necessary ag practices of "raising" meat. But I think one can point out the benefits of hunting for your own food without lending credence to the animal rights organization's claims about inhumane agricultural procedures. In reality, it is those agricultural procedures that make it practical for us to maintain a constant viable supply of animal protiens.

Elmo Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 This article basically does an extremely brief recap of the 1st half of Michael Pollan's book. Read Pollan's "The Omnivore's Dilemma" if you want further details. Pollan goes into much greater detail and mentions every little step as to how monoculture farming ruins soil. The Mindful Carnivore by Tovar Cerulli is another good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suilleabhain Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I read that article and thought it was good too. Did you read the comments posted after it? They went from the fact-based to the bizzare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
