I agree. perhaps to say that we should not hunt mamals simply because they tend to suffer more than others when being hunted or killed is not a good excuse after all, come to think of it.
Alex, my mum does have her own little garden where she grows lots of vegies. She also raises chickens (almost like free ranch chickens) although she hardly eat them nowadays. She lives in a small villager where people sometimes go into the woods to hunt small wild animals, snakes included. ..but i notice that during the past few years some villagers begin to raise a large number of pigs for commercial purpose. In the past, villagers tended to keep only a few pigs.. and although they were given natural food (vegies and rice) , they were kept in pen..so it's still a difficult life for the pigs(raised for food).
