When we needed to, it was fine. We don't, however, anymore.
*But*, breeding animals and keeping them in barely livable conditions just so the meat will be a certain tenderness is very wrong.
Hunting foxes is bad, It never served any purpose except keeping them off your land. If you have a patch of land with killable-via-fox animals, keep a gun and shoot at the damned thing, but it's better to scare it off. Or we'll kill out yet another species.
Personally, in my eyes, the best way to sort out any problems with society is to destroy the human race. Then we wouldn't be worrying about all of this, would we now?
But even so..hunting them for a bit of sport with a pack of dogs that you mistreat to get more action is too wrong. Far, far too wrong. Things like this should be a matter of our survival; We must understand the fox only wants to survive, but it is more honest about it.
I actually agree with SOS about what he said. We need meat for food; we need proteins and vitamins to survive that only meat can provide. Or did, anyway, there's tablets for that now. And synthetics for materials. I was a vegetarian for two years, Until I realised it wasn't doing any good. Hah, young and bitter, how joyful.
I see I have a reputaion of a murderous animal-rights activist feminist bundle of joy. I've only been here a week. Things will be getting interesting, won't they?
