oh, that button. . .I know where that one is !!!!!
My point about humans not eating animals because we don't need to anymore I stand by, and as for nature: I do not like what goes on, but it is what has been going on on this planet for millions of years, and it is the epitome of natural. I am disgusted by what goes on in factory farms, and we have taken away all things natural from the lives of those animals. If you are going to eat meat, I respect wholeheartedly raising the meat yourself and knowing where your food comes from. I like natural, it needs to play a bigger role in our lives. Nature will do what it will do, it is sad but it is something I respect. We need to be more connected to our food and where it comes from, and if you are going to eat meat, raise it or kill it yourself. If you can't do that, don't eat it (that is my opinion, please don't take offense by it, if I get too opinionated please tell me and I will tone it down

)

I agree with hunt it, raise it and kill it yourself, but unfortunately there are many people that either cannot or will not. Living this way is one of the reasons I moved to Alaska, and someday I hope to be able to do more than hunt just in my backyard (everything goes bye-bye during hunting season) but in the meantime we have friends that hunt and donate to us and I do get the lil critters still

Two years ago hubby and a friend got a moose and it's lasted 2 years, we need to get another this year.

But what happens when you are too old and not able to hunt for yourself? Should you just then become a vegetarian? Or those that can't afford to move where they can raise or hunt their own food? Should they be vegan because money doesn't let them raise and hunt?

There is no need to be sad for nature, she cares not about us!

wolfwoman: I am not necessarily talking lifestyle, if (hypothetical stories coming up) you have lived your life hunting or raising your own food and you are restricted by age, then I am fine with you buying family farmed or minimal cruelty meat. If you live your life denying the fact that a hamburger is in fact made of a living (in my opinion sentient) being that lived its life crammed in a tiny cage or in a crowded barn without ever even seeing sunlight, then I think you need to experience up close and personal the way animals are raised and killed before buying meat.
My point is this: You need to be aware of where your food comes from and experience it in close quarters

the "meat birds etc" section is the appropriate place for discussing meat duck stuff, perhaps somebody made a mistake? the OP seems reasonable, i don't know why some people are getting their panties in such a bunch

What a great discussion! About people being able to post in this section about raising ducks for meat:

This is the area of BYC where one can find the MOST information on the proper raising of ducks, be they for pets or food. For those who give advice about nutrition, housing, health and so on, it only helps to insure that ducks that are raised for food are given a good quality of life before their time is up. I don't know that the wealth of knowledge found on this forum can be found on the meat bird section. I agree that anyone who does not want to read these types of posts should not open the thread to begin with. IMO a more proper request would be to ask that all meat bird topics be clearly stated in the topic so that those who may be offened can advoid that post.

But what happens when you are too old and not able to hunt for yourself? Should you just then become a vegetarian? Or those that can't afford to move where they can raise or hunt their own food?

Humans are, like other primates, meant to live in groups with large extended family units. The ederly, out of respect for what they have contributed, should be fed by the younger members of the family. As far as Nature not caring for us...She gives us food, water, air, beauty, and the senses to apreciate it all. All that she asks, is that we return it someday. To me, it is not cruel, and the pains of life are not bad or evil. They just are, and have their beauty in their own way.​
