Reply #137: I'm afraid that the issue here is really not the deer hanging. [View All]

It's the entire concept of eating meat. For those who consider meat-eaters to be "kill defenders," anyone who hunts game and eats it is a murderer. Bambi is, for some, the moral equivalent of a human being.

This is not about some guy who was hanging the results of a successful hunt so he could process it. This is about the vast majority of people who eat meat as part of their diet. This man was just putting the evidence of his meat-eating in a visible place.

Those who are pointing out that the man was doing nothing illegal are "self-centered assholes," it seems, according to some. Never mind that they're acting in accordance with the law. Never mind that this is only a temporary situation. Never mind anything. Someone was offended by the display of carnivorous human behavior. That's harm enough. That obviates the hunter's right to hunt, process, and eat his game. It is, for someone, the majority that is wrong.

It's a regular theme here.
