Yeah, but that's not really what we're on about here, at least I'm
hoping that Larry doesn't eat beaver.
... wait, that didn't come out right ... :cower:
Hunting for food, I don't have a problem with. Killing an animal because it's attacking you or your livestock, no problem there either.
My problem lies more in the philosophical realm - that we kill animals because they threaten the infrastructure that we've put on the land that we supposedly share with them. I know that our cities would never have been built if we hadn't taken the land from the animals, but where do you draw the line?
Everyone wants their own paradise. Animals get in the way of achieving that. Therefore, being the dumb, lower-class things that they are, they are sacrificed. We can all justify what we do, but there's always going to be someone seeing the situation in a different light, because of their upbringing or because of a lack of knowledge. In my case I'm sure it's a bit of both, and if I were in Larry's shoes I'd probably be doing the same thing, but right here, right now, I'm playing the "Save-The-Animals" card.
