Well, those city folks think that pork, chicken and beef come wrapped in cellophane from some alternate universe....nothing oinked, clucked or mooed....just jumped into the plastic and voila, dinner. Sure, I don't feel like a Neanderthal bringing home a nice Mammoth for dinner..ook ook ook..when I have to protect my little feathered friends with a .22....but then, the city folks who shop at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's (my favorite, by the way) for their organic, free-range whatever's didn't go through all the steps to bring food to the dinner table. I see no difference in a pet Chihuahua, a teacup Poodle, or cat being eaten by a varmint, or a chicken eaten by the little bustards, for that matter. If the city folks had their little friends at the top of the food chain for varmints to enjoy, they might change their tune. Too many small pets are being attacked and eaten in the city, for crying out loud, by coyotes. As for Mountain Lions here in California, before the hunting ban, they learned quite quickly that the "bang stick" humans carried was something they didn't want to deal with. With a moratorium on hunting, they have lost their fear of man. And regaining their territories. Wouldn't want to shoot them, they are magnificent cats, but if it goes down to me or them, 9x18 rules the day.
