Hunting Vs. Farming

[UintatheriumParticipant 1861]

Hi guys. I want to talk about another thing that has been bugging up my mind for a while. How come some people think that farming is okay but hunting isn’t?

In our society, hunting if often portrayed as barbaric. In reality, hunting is more eco-friendly than farming. Hunting also causes less pain than farming. I guess some people don’t want to kill their prey themselves … so they let someone else do it … or something. I don’t see why that is less barbaric.

Reality Check: The radfems might take over the whole world within the next 50 or 60 years. In that time, nearly every manly activity will be either feminized or banned outright. At this rate, hunting will eventually be the last manly activity left on the planet. Get used to it.

MGTOW: because you can (and should) say anything about a woman as long as she isn't within earshot

Something will happen long before that and you know what?

There will be a new class of haves and have nots.

The haves will know how to hunt,fish,farm,repair ect

The have nots will know none of this and either change

their ways and attitudes joining the rest or simply die

off.

I think both are very valuable,it teaches you respect for

animals and nature,something the bleeding hearts will

never understand.

Hunting and farming go well together.
Best place to hunt is typically either in, or very near to, farm land. Animals hang out where the food is.

Hunting is awesome, and farming is equally awesome. Guns are fun and the naysayers are dumb. Any more questions

Hunting reminds us directly of our role in nature. The further we try to isolate ourselves from nature the more we need to remember that we cannot isolate ourselves.

Hunting is meat earned and an animal honored. Ask any bunny hugger and hunter about a particular game animal. I promise you the hunter will know more about and have a greater respect for the animal than the bunny hugger does.

Hunters understand balance in the environment and the necessity for maintaining that. Where man has taken over as the apex predator, man has a responsibility to manage the populations. Either you will get them with a gun or your car. Your choice.

And, men would never set up a feral cat feeding station to the detriment of the song bird population!

Why?
Because people have become to insulated from where exactly their food comes from. They disconnect from WHERE meat and protein ACTUALLY comes from. We are looking at the result of feminist / mangina indoctrination in public schools. Then what happens is they make it really difficult for hunters and pile regulation upon regulation on them. Meanwhile because there are no predators deer and pig populations have exploded and we wind up with 10’s of thousands dying a lingering death from starvation each winter and stressing the food sources to their limits. Way to go liberal progressive f~~~tards. Watch Bambi starve to death.

I regularly catch and eat trout when they are abundant. (cook thoroughly so no parasites survive)
I also have taken down 3 deer over the past 6 years to make jerked deer snacks. Why only 3? I bow-hunt and well… I suck at it. But its still fun.
You quickly learn what FOOD means when you have to haul the deer up, drain, gut and prepare the meat. I am not a butcher, but I know a butcher who comes out skins, and dresses / butchers the deer. He keeps the skin, antlers and takes the meat to season and jerk it. He keeps some of the meat too which he sells for a tidy profit.

I mean people think they are so Eco-friendly when they don’t have a clue. Women who use makeup often are using liquids which contain gelatin in them. Gelatin is made from the processed bones, skin and connective tissue of animals. I unfortunately once told a woman (who unbeknownst to me was a rabid PETA member) what gelatin was made of while she was applying her foundation makeup. She ran screaming into the bathroom, puked and was in there sobbing until a support group of friends talked her out. One of her bull dyke friends gets in my face and is screaming at me demanding to know what I said.
ME: She was applying a foundation makeup (I point to the bottle) and I looked at the ingredients and mentioned to my surprise that it had gelatin in it.
Bull Dyke: Gelatin? Like Jello? What the f~~~ does that have to do with anything.
ME: Well I told her that Gelatin is made from the processed bones, connective tissue and skin of slaughtered animals.
Bull Dyke: (dawns on her why her friend is so upset) Why the f~~~ did you tell her that asshole.
ME: I didn’t know she was a PETA. If I had I still would have told her so she would know the truth.
Bull Dyke: F~~~ you stay away from us asshole.

And there you go. Female / mangina truth, as in there is none, only wanting to stay in blissful ignorance.

We evolved as hunter gatherers. Our early ancestors had shorter lifespans than us because they lived a violent life, but they were almost free of the chronic illnesses we have today.
With agriculture came all the problems associated with not eating the foods we evolved to. Corn for instance is a genetic mutation we created because it’s high in calories and becomes pure sugar in our bodies. Even the cattle that are fed corn in feedlots to make them fat produce meat high in dangerous Omega-6 compared to their ancestors who roamed free and ate grass, who produced meat high in Omega-3.
Even meat high in saturated fat is OK if it comes from animals who eat grass, like venison and bison.

[GrumpyParticipant]

It should never have been a competition between hunter/gatherer and farming.
In all, it is called “husbanding” of resources.
I.e
Animal husbandry, aka managing your animals. Either wild game or domestic animals, Fish/Fowl/or Mammal, one needs to manage his meat resources.

Grains and grasses are the same. One needs to know where and how they grow, and how to properly manage, or “husband” these resources.

Knowledge is indeed Power, power needs to be employed properly.
Especially if it keep you from going hungry.

There was a time in my life when I gave a fuck. Now you have to pay ME for it

I do both farming and hunting. I have to say that both are just as manly and physically demanding as each other.

If you think hunting is somehow tougher than farming, then go take a job as a farmhand at a livestock operation. Try shearing 30, 100kg rams in a day and let me know how your body feels.

Or get in the yards with a herd of 800kg cows.

Livestock farmers (in Australia) are some of the toughest and strongest people in the country. A hunter who sits in hide and carries one or two animals a year has nothing on professional livestock handlers.

Don’t believe me? Just give it a go. Or find a farmer in their 70s and look at how massive and gnarly their hands are.

[VarunParticipant 2981]

Normally I say its not good to kill animals..

but whenever I see a live chicken with fat legs.. I cannot control my drool.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Yeah people who eat meat don’t have any right to complain about hunting. Or farming, for that matter. I’ve seen a lot of people get on their high horses about it, while having no qualms about treating themselves to the odd cheeseburger. I get it if you’re a vegetarian, but if you like meat yourself, then your words are meaningless. You also see people complaining about fur coats – sometimes while wearing ugg boots, which last I checked, are made from sheepskin. Granted the sheep doesn’t die when you shear it – I would know, being from NZ – but it’s still dangerously close to calling the kettle black.

I don’t hunt myself, but have friends that do. And I’d never give them a hard time because, while I don’t like to think about the poor little piggies being slaughtered in the abattoir, the fact is that I lurrvvvvee bacon, and understand that it’s gotta come from somewhere.

I’m against trophy hunting or any hunting technique that’s cruel or causes unnecessary pain for the animal (fox hunting in the UK for example).

I’m fine with hunting an animal you’re going to consume, provided its a quick death. I eat meat so anything beyond that would be hyprocritical.

I think hunting is more humane than farming – A lot of farmed animals are kept in atrocious conditions and suffer ongoing cruelty.

[TwistParticipant]

I don’t hunt, but mainly because I grew up without knowing anyone who hunts. But I fish – a lot. All salt~~~er, any species that is running – Striped Bass, Fluke, Tuna, Shark (Makos and Threshers only for eating), Mahi, Blackfish, etc.

The guys I fish with all respect what we keep. We keep/kill only what gets eaten, and it gets bled, iced, cut, and packaged like its gold.

Funny – xW would always be squeamish about eating fresh caught fish, being more comfortable to pay a fortune for days old, bleached fish from the supermarket. She also imparted this twisted logic to my daughters.

What I know now is that if someone does not share my appreciation for this example of the circle of life, they don’t get to share anything with me.

I used to think that farming was “obviously” better because the animals were looked-after and all that, but more recently I haven’t been so sure. I’m no expert but here goes:

Farming consumes vast quantities of fresh water, entire rivers get diverted, and lakes have been known to dry up because of it. A lot of water gets used solely for producing beef, including grain production to feed the cows through winter.

Hunting could be seen as ethically superior to farming, for a few reasons. The animals have a “free life” prior to getting hunted. Their life has sovereign value, which also means that any resources they might use, such as water or forests to roam in, are justified in their own right. Us humans cannot factor in “forest real-estate” as part of the cost of “maintaining” animals for hunting. There might be partial exceptions like private parks that are fenced-off, but I’m talking wild animals. On the other hand, the entire life cycle of farm animals has to be accounted for, so all the grains and trough water they use are on us.

Generally speaking, farmers (animals) are in for the profit, the corporations at least. That means, they strive to keep costs down in order to stay in business. That means cheap feed, smallest real estate possible, cheapest method of killing the animal. Ethics is secondary.

But forget about ethics for now, what’s the effects on the human body of eating farmed meat vs hunted/properly cared for meat? What about quality of life, medical expenses? Answer seems pretty self explanatory.

Ok. Then do it.

Lets not forget the tons of bicarbonate (more than 50% of the total national consumption) used to combat the stomach disorders of feedlot beef cattle who are fattened with corn instead of their natural grass. We all end up eating their meat and get as sick as they do.
