Recant the statement that if everyone in Alberta filled a pickup full of them that it wouldn't be sustainable? Not likely. As it stands, i'm sure it's not a problem.

I would say the moral dilemma/guilt of killing to eat comes from the knowledge that a grocery store somewhere is throwing out a ton of meat a year that did not sell.

I've had to kill on several occasions for mercy. When I had to put my dog down..... it altered me. I mean permanently. The situation wasn't as simple as taking a walk with a gun.

Aside from fish, I have yet to kill to eat. I was going to say that killing a deer to eat wouldn't bother me if I know I can pick the right one but isn't that an odd statement? Kind of like playing god i guess.

I could go on but I think I've made my point.
