Hunting Alaskan Style
« on: November 27, 2017, 10:02:21 AM »
BBC article here. Obviously as a soft townie I don't agree with most of the views expressed, but it is good to read an opposing viewpoint, and the interviewee comes out with a very interesting conclusion.

I read this bilge the other day.
Pain, or damage, don't end the world. Or despair, or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man, and give some back. - Al Swearengen, Deadwood.

I read it too. To be fair I should think maintaining a diet that is reliant on plant produce in that climate is nextt to impossible. And while I’ve no time for the romanticism of hunting it is at least more honest than buying meat in plastic supermarket trays, or frozen lasagne.

I have no problem with people hunting animals which they intend to eat, unless they are an endangered species, but I don't think hunting merely for the pleasure of killing them is right.

Well, the animals being hunted actually manage it!
