maybe we can agree on killing neither humans nor animals and inferfere with both humans and animals if there is a need!? or kill both!
despite that humans don't need physically to consume meat i can of course comprehend that people hunt for meat. (this has nothing to do with the disgusting meat industry in europe or america which has nothing to do with respecting life. it's a shame as hunting is for the human society that we allow them to exploit life for making profits.

as i stated earlier:
i don't differentiate between humans and other animals! so if hunting is a selective process of conservation means in order to keep numbers down to protect land against overpopulation than i agree on the same to be done in india, africa and even europe especially germany where more than 80 million people live in relatively small space! why is hunting humans out of imagination? are we that better/superior? for what reason? when we see what we have done to planet earth in the last 100 years how can we still assume that we are superior? if we were we would have treated the earth with more respect!
gosh is that sick............who the hell has told the hunters that they are superior to all others and they are the ones who have got the right to select gracious animals for being shot? i give a damn for what ever reason they produce!
and i would like to get to know about the feeling a powerful human, master over life and death, has in the very moment when he looks thru a gridlock and pulls the trigger exstinguishing a life?
is it adrenalin, produces this power a kind of orgasm, makes it feel the nunter really a "master" or what? or makes it them think that they really do good?

Are you serious?

what you mean - "serious............"????????
what makes us humans more "precious" ? why not the same scale to any living creature? are we more valueable because we distroy more systematically? or because we think before we torture how to do it best? or because we underwent a kind of evolution? the latter is not in the whole planet's interest at all!
of course i am serious!

Pippa,
What do you eat every day? No meat I know. Fish?, eggs? fruit & Veg?

v e g e t a r i a n.......nothing which had had a face

But vegetables and fruit are "living things" as well Just cause we don´t hear them scream when you chop up a salad doesn´t mean they don´t suffer right?? How extreme do we take this discussion.....
