Quote by: Matt  You make assumptions very easily. This debate was about hunting, not about eating meat. The main thing that bugged me about hunting is someone is killing an animal...not the part about eating it. |
I see you still fail to understand the logic... so be it.

No, all things have a life purpose other then to serve as food or 'part of the web'. Their purpose is to breed and continue the species, but more so it is just the purpose to live, to enjoy, to have fun, to have a good life.

Right and how long does a species get to breed without any food? None... THey eat other species to be able to do that.
As for your "the purpose of all life is to have fun", give me a break. This is same ultra human, detached from nature perspective I was talking about. There is no "fun" in the wild. Wild animals live to survive, it's a constant battle against hunger, disease, the elements, and predators. The only reason humans and perhaps domesticated animals can live to have fun is because we have so thoroughly overcome that need, at least in the western world.
"Having fun" is not a purpose, it's a selfish desire. The only purpose of any thing is like I said, to serve as part of the planets ecology. To balance out the earth. Spiders exist only to balance out the other insects, which in turn serve their purpose. I'm sorry but it's all a lot harsher and colder then your Disney view that all animals exist to run about in fields laughing with their brothers and sisters.

If I say I don't like cats, does that mean I like dogs more? No, of course not. For some reason you believe me going after hunting means I think factory farming in better. It isn't, but I choose in this thread to talk about hunting since it is something that hits closer to home with me.

No... I don't think you read what I wrote. I think you think meat eating is wrong all together, which is infact what you believe. The farming thing was merely meant to illustrate how it's impossible for us to attack your position on hunting without bringing your views on vegetarianism into the mix.
