I agree. I just found it funny how you were trying to educate this guy on "the way of the world" when you don't even have a rudimentary understanding of it yourself.

You clearly missed the point I was making...not that I'm surprised. What difference does it make if the meat you eat was hunted or 'raised' then led to slaughter?

I find it funny that you always seem to argue over some of the dumbest things. You'll argue just to argue...even when there is nothing there.

You were arguing in favor of hunting by saying the meat "we" eat is hunted and killed. I don't think I'm arguing semantics by pointing out that it is raised not hunted.

I don't have a problem with hunters, but they don't get credit for stocking my local Meijer with beef and pork. Sorry.

I'm thinking what kind of POS hunter wants to use a drone? Is this a thing? i believe they said Nebraska, but don't quote me.

I didn't hear the segment that you're talking about, but no one is allowed to weaponize a drone. I would guess they use it to conduct surveillance. For example, send the drone up, pan the camera around, and see what's out there.

I'm not a hunter, but the sporting aspect would be the only draw to me. Using a drone isn't something I would do, but as long as they aren't using it to herd animals towards the hunters, I'm not sure it's such a big deal.

I think people use them to try to drive/flush deer also,.

Correct. It's raised in small pens or cages and fed drug laced feed to promote growth. Then it's killed and processed by some of the most underpaid workers in the USA before being delivered to your local supermarket. Overall much more acceptable than this idea of releasing an animal on small acreage and shooting it prior to eating it.

I shot a turkey yesterday. I guarantee that it didn't feel a thing. I feel a lot better eating what I humanely harvest vs an animal that has been abused and raised for the sole purpose of slaughter. Factory farming is disgusting.

I actually went to grad school with Temple. She's absolutely brilliant at her vocation, but apparently has always had a very unorthodox approach.

Is that what these rich safari hunters are doing? I thought they were just in it for trophies.

For the folks out there who hunt their dinner, more power to 'em.
