People who call themselves "hunters"

[sunni]

You lost me..

it is something people say to vegans "well if you were in the woods or on a desert island you couldnt be a vegan than you would have to eat animals to stay alive" , so the meme is funny because she wants to be a vegan but she is constantly being put into positions where you cant be, like in stranded in the woods or on a desert island lol

So qwizhole is a pharmacist who also owns a ranch with 400 head of steer and smokes atleast a qp a week. Anyome else have any waders, the shit is getting deep.

 

[qwizoking]

Well technically its family ranch..... what of it. Its a 10,000 acre and a ranch is the norm for some people...I don't run it... and yea I found an interest in pharmaceuticals and decided to make a li living off it....I also smoke a lot... like I said troll.... what do you do for a living?

 

[kinetic]

A pharmacist that gets high on lunch while at work. Classy.

One distinction that I have made between vegans/vegetarians and hunters is that vegans/vegetarians take a passive role in nature while hunters take an active role in nature. Hunters are the true eyes and ears of environmental issues. Hunters have a deep respect for their environment and understand that there is a balance. Vegans will hike and bird watch on nicely maintained trails in state parks where you see very little activity while a hunter will go deep into the woods to scout a hunting location 6 months prior to opening season.

Vegans get warm and fuzzy when they don't eat meet and hunters get warm and fuzzy when they have proven their skills. Most vegans couldn't walk out into their local environment and forage for food but a hunter could probably show you 10 different things to eat no matter the season.

IMO hunting/fishing/trapping/foraging are vital parts of the human experience and without them we would be missing out on what it is to be human.

ok I got it. Thanks for clarifying. You and I have had a rocky relationship so I didn't know if you were attacking me.

i take it you didnt read my very first post so ill repost it

heres my take on this as a vegan, i would rather people hunt, kill, and consume the animal, and use all of its parts which they do, rather eat horribly mass produced, mistreated animals that are filled with hormones and other crap ,
it is when they kill and leave the animal to rot is when its stupid,
while i realize our society is by no means starving, i think its better, healthier for the family, and all parts of the animal are being put to use rather than discarded . the animal also lives a fulfilled life in its wild and natural habitat
People will never stop eating meat, and vegans who are so self righteous make the rest of us look bad.

also im a canadian girl i know how to hunt kill shoot skin cook and eat any animal indigenous to my country , i also used to be a big fisher, i would think most vegans know how to do simple hunter skills as they most likely became vegan later in life. the argument of "if you were stuck in middle of nowhere you couldnt survive because you like to roll around in bunnies and eat salad" is kinda stupid , if survival comes down to survival it is neither being vegan nor a regular meat eater that will give you the chance of survival it is whether or not you know how to survive by smarts, and educating yourself in wilderness

 

[sunni]

just about any 20 year old female or male regardless of their diet would die in the wilderness because theyre so stuck on technology and dont know how to shit in the woods. let alone survive.

idk about claiming most vegans have hunting skills.

My post wasn't directed at you sunni. I appreciate that you respect a hunter's lifestyle and I think it speaks volumes about your character that you have outdoor skills and understand both sides of the issue. This is why I love my Canadian friends. They have a serious appreciation for nature and how to be apart of it.

i would think most people enjoyed fishing or some sort of camping during their younger lives with their parents...perhaps i am wrong and this is just a canadian thing eh? lol grab the flannel jackets! i still stand on the point where just about any young adults today would not survive as they are just so stuck on technology. lol

directed? no. probably not, but its quite a big assumption to make that vegans cant survive in the wilderness if need be lol ,

I don't think it's a big assumption at all. I will change it to the MAJORITY of vegans/vegetarians can't survive in the wilderness. It would be impossible to survive in the wilderness for any length of time without some form of protein. You would either starve to death or freeze to death.

in a survival situation they would most likely eat whatever they could if it came down to life or death but everyday life isnt about life or death people have a choice, veganism is about reducing the amount of harm to living animals, but if youre about to die because youre stuck in alaska and theres nothing to eat but a deer youre gunna eat the deer. lol again thats why i posted the meme, in a life or death situation vegans would eat meat

 

[kinetic]

Sunni, probably a Canadian thing! A bunch of my friends that are vegan have been so since we were teenagers. Alot started as vegetarians. Thats when the grocery store deli would sell you a whole sub with no meat for $2!

I thought mushrooms were loaded with protein? Would eating a few grubs disqualify one as a vegan or vegetarian??
Maybe you was talking about city folk????

 

[420God]

Sent two pigs off to market this afternoon and had another momma pop out 11 babies this morning.

Did you know pigs can have a litter of around a dozen every six months. Their gestation period is only 3 months, 3 weeks and 3 days. 200lbs in 6 months.

I love bacon.

Both good points. Edible mushrooms are seasonal though and I don't know that many people could tell the difference between the poisonous and edibles. Yes, city folk or people from the burbs are pretty much sitting ducks although they can be taught the basics very quickly and some of them actually enjoy their primal side once they get a taste of it.

In what way do you define that our bodies cannot properly handle consuming meat?Elaborate for us.We didnt sustain an existence on this planet just eating vegetables alone,,,you know this,How is it not in our instincts to seek out food Whether it be vegetable or Animal? why do we seek out Animals for food even if we do not have the biological extremity's to kill with??/hmmmm wait for it to come to you,,,,

I'll make it easy...

Intestinal tract length. Carnivorous animals have intestinal tracts that are 3-6x their body length, while herbivores have intestinal tracts 10-12x their body length. Human beings have the same intestinal tract ratio as herbivores.
Stomach acidity. Carnivores’ stomachs are 20x more acidic than the stomachs of herbivores. Human stomach acidity matches that of herbivores.
Saliva. The saliva of carnivores is acidic. The saliva of herbivores is alkaline, which helps pre-digest plant foods. Human saliva is alkaline.
Shape of intestines. Carnivore bowels are smooth, shaped like a pipe, so meat passes through quickly — they don’t have bumps or pockets. Herbivore bowels are bumpy and pouch-like with lots of pockets, like a windy mountain road, so plant foods pass through slowly for optimal nutrient absorption. Human bowels have the same characteristics as those of herbivores.
Fiber. Carnivores don’t require fiber to help move food through their short and smooth digestive tracts. Herbivores require dietary fiber to move food through their long and bumpy digestive tracts, to prevent the bowels from becoming clogged with rotting food. Humans have the same requirement as herbivores.
Cholesterol. Cholesterol is not a problem for a carnivore’s digestive system. A carnivore such as a cat can handle a high-cholesterol diet without negative health consequences. A human cannot. Humans have zero dietary need for cholesterol because our bodies manufacture all we need. Cholesterol is only found in animal foods, never in plant foods. A plant-based diet is by definition cholesterol-free.
Claws and teeth. Carnivores have claws, sharp front teeth capable of subduing prey, and no flat molars for chewing. Herbivores have no claws or sharp front teeth capable of subduing prey, but they have flat molars for chewing. Humans have the same characteristics as herbivores

Also, it is not possible for carnivores to get clogged arteries, yet it's one of the #1 killers of human beings.
