I hold each animal as an individual. Moose or Human or Horse.
I have a horse, but did not want a horse. But more than I did not want a 'horse' I wanted to share my life with this individual who happens to have been born as a horse.
Sorta like I want to have a dog team again, but not out to get a dog just because its a husky, but because of WHO that dog is as an individual to become part of my family.
Same as, I did not marry my wife just because she was a woman?
:)
I'm mostly vegetarian also, some people find this a bit hard, but I do eat meat, but mostly fish heading for spawning (salmon) so I shorten their lives the least amount I can.
I also hunt, but yet to shoot anything bigger than a bird, I make myself look the animal directly in the eye, so I can feel the full impact of my actions. This year I had 3 moose within 30 feet of me, had the license, had the rifle pointed for a quick kill and finger on the trigger, but never pulled it due to "who" the individual animal was. Each was a peaceful soul. I was looking for one that was "mean" (and we do have some of those!) I live semi-remote in Alaska.
But STRIVE to be vegetarian, and grow as big and good of a garden as I can. If I could get it in good enough, I wouldn't even eat fish or any meat.
I respect those with different views, yet share my own, as well as seek to learn from theirs.
Hi and thanks for the invite!
You may want to go over my page, ummm, I'm a man of peace, a peace keeper, and welcome all those of peace.
I am against cruelty towards animals, and view humans as animals too. 99% of those who know love for animals, are also people of peace, because they know the true value of love.
Welcome aboard Michael Andrew!
