Every once in a while I get that ominous feeling that killing and specially making animals suffer just for me to eat meat, fish and lactose is extremely wrong, but then I kinda forget.
I kinda see myself hunting wild game though so it’s weird.
I don’t see anything wrong with hunting for personal or communal sustenance - pretty much every omnivorous animal on earth does it in some form. I know several leftist vegans who feel the same way, but I don’t think that fits the mainstream vegan narrative. Either way, I do think that factory farmed food products are immoral and I wish I were better about avoiding them.
Ideally, I’d like to set up an aquaponics-based veggie greenhouse using a breeding tank of tilapia. I also want to keep chickens for eggs but not for meat. I’d occasionally hunt when the need arises, but at least I’d be completely free of factory farms - that’s enough for me to feel like I’m living ethically.
“hurting” does nothing equal “killing”. There are ethical ways to kill, like the guillotine
