I’m interested in hearing what Lemmings think about hunting. I started hunting deer years ago because I wanted to be a part of the process, like if I couldn’t handle killing and gutting an animal I shouldn’t be eating meat. IMO, it’s much more humane than what factory farmed animals endure. Less suffering overall than most natural deaths. Overpopulation causes disease and starvation and we killed off their predators, so we kind of owe it to nature to fill the ecological gap.

Also, I fucking love it. I watch the sun rise, think, record birds I’ve seen, think, watch squirrels play, think a bit more, and sometimes, I get some food.

Idk. I’m not looking for approval or trying to change your mind, just wondering what people think.

    Harming or taking any sentient beings life is a wrong action, an evil action. It causes immense loss of wisdom, perspective, empathy and friendliness of your own mind; and it causes severe suffering to the beings that are subjected to your violent acts.

    You are accumulating demerit by continuing these actions, there is truly no action worse than murder. The right time to stop is right now. I hope you stop ignoring the (now) diminished sense of wrongdoing, that made you okay with doing this.
