that it isn't the same, that death and butchery wasn't part of the process. You get to divorce yourself from the ugliness of the murder of the animals you eat each day.

I respect hunters inasmuch as they are honest about what they do; they involve themselves in each step of the killing and dismembering of the animals they eat, while the DU "Don't Wanna See My Meat" crowd gets to shove double-handfuls of flesh down their throats and all the while blithely ignore the pain and death they've caused.

This doesn't apply to Mari, btw. As a vegetarian she's not being a hypocrite about the issue. If only some of the rest of you could be as honest.
