ok, that makes more sense
Your link stated that the animals loose consciousness in two seconds after there throats are slit. Believe this you do? Bleeding to death? How this is different from a well placed bullet other than the fact the wild animal is allowed to run if able?
And I think you're missing the higher ethical question. It's not how life is taken but- should a modern civilized society need to consume animal products?
Well putting it that way, I agree, it would certainly be a 'higher form of existence'. I actually have lasted on fish and nuts and soy (instead of meat) for months at a time without any problem. I also know Jewish people who do have a real problem with meat, regardless of their own dietary laws.
But note - the bottom line of this thread was: whether one hunts for food or necessary culling, or simply for sport. That's what this was all about.
