She was okay with frozen thawed rats. Because heck, you buy them frozen, so they were never alive, right? Just frozen rats having some frozen babies.
My personal favorite was a comment I received on a hunting site about me hunting for meat. I don't remember the exact wording of the reply to my post, but it was something along the lines of: "Why don't you just get some meat from the store? Those animals are bred to be eaten. Deer aren't." It's funny how people think that a factory farmed chicken, likely one that was raised in a tiny cage and never saw the outside of the dark, cramped factory it lived and died in, has a better life then a wild animal that is ethically shot or trapped. It truly is a disconnect. People associate a wild animal with something majestic and frankly, above an animal that we perceive as food. It's really too bad, and I feel like hunters get a lot of flack for just trying to go about doing something we enjoy. I love hunting and I love knowing that the meat/fish I'm eating was humanely harvested by me. How much better can you get then that?
