If there are any female submissive sorts who would want to chime in, I'm curious how you feel about hunting.

I'd rather eat Bambi's mother than Steer # 534 (read true story here.) In fact, I don't eat conventional raised beef, poultry, pork, eggs, or dairy products because I find current practices like Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations to be disgusting and despicable. I am willing to pay more money for animals that were treated better and economize in other areas of my grocery budget.

I have no problem with hunting for food. I've never known anyone who hunted solely to kill and the thought makes me queasy. I wouldn't be interested in a hunter whose life revolved around that, but have the same issue with sports fanatics, etc. My man and I have separate interests, for example, he golfs and I garden, but we work this into our schedule rather than the other way around. I wouldn't have a problem with a "Guy's Hunting Week" unless it was his only week of vacation. I need to be with a man to whom I am more important than "the guys" or a sport.

Not a female submissive sort, but if being female is close enough...I'll answer as well.

No problem with hunting or those who hunt. I just know I personally couldnt do it myself, but Im the type who cant bear to kill anything to begin with. I have a hard enough time as it is taking pets I love to the vet to be euthanized.

But that's if the person doing the hunting is actually eating what they hunted. I have a hard time with someone heading off to the woods to shoot an animal only for one body part that they can sell for money on the black market and leave the rest of the carcass to rot. Especially when there are loads of hungry people who could really use the meat from that animal to survive.

The cruelty of farming is to my mind an issue quite distinct from what (I thought) we were talking about, hunting and killing for pleasure. That is where the hypocrisy lies, in living as an omnivore, hating the cruelty of farming practices, and taking no action to change it (guilty).
I just don't grasp or grok seeing a beautiful wild creature and wanting to kill it for pleasure. But perhaps I'm forgetting I'm on a forum with some sadists.

I will save a spider but deer and boar are tasty.

Poultry is a bigger source.

I grew up where there are hunting holidays. The local governments and schools actually close so that employees, kids and teachers can go hunting. Hunting and football are religions there. So the whole hunting thing in his profile seemed second nature to me and didn't bother me. Everyone I know from back where I grew up, hunts....males, females, kids and their pets.

Because no one's said it yet, sadism is anathema to ethical hunting.

Don't get me wrong, there is pleasure in killing. It is the consumation of a successful hunt, no doubt. Killing is not the end-all and be-all of the act, rather, it is the final moment in all the effort one puts in to put themselves in a position to make a good, clean kill. I'll reflect on that tomorrow after I thaw out another hunk of loin from last season. Note: don't overcook venison-it's not like grain-fed fatty beef. I toss a strip of bacon on top or marinate it in a 50/50 olive-oil/raspberry vinaigrette dressing. Medium well is about as far as you should go.

Weren't we talking about some guy's profile?

Here's my take on everything:

profile - good
hunting - ok
trophies (aka dead carcasses on the wall) - bad

There is an astounding little restaurant in Rio Vista, California called Foster's Bighorn. Every available inch of wall space is taken by a trophy hunt animal. Not just deer, but rhino, elephant, boar, jaguar, moose, giraffe. You can't help but walk through this place in amazement. Here's a Youtube video tour someone did:

There's a restaurant that's really popular back in my hometown where they have stuffed animals all over the place...from deer heads, full deer to bobtails to panthers to mountain lions, African lions, tigers....a little bit of everything and the entire place is decorated so it seems as though they are in natural settings. That place is always packed to the gills on the weekends. I admit their pizza is really good there.
