OK, we have farmland and housing that contributes to the illusion of "overpopulation" and more deer actually being born. My talk about how more food = more deer plays into this. This coupled with the eradication of the natural predator leads to what humans call overpopulation. We are the cause of this so isn't it our job to get rid of the actual cause of the problem rather then "play nature" and kill a bunch of animals, which only bandades the supposed problem. Hunters actually weaken herds by attacking the strongest buck rather than the weakest, smallest deer like would happen in nature. We throw off the balance more than re aline it like we claim to do. Not to mention breeding programs that allow plenty of animals to kill. A lot of these animals would not even be here if not for the government breeding and relocating them. This is done for profit. Hunting is a big business.
How about the amount of food that becoming vegan creates? I talked on how up words of 80% of our soy, wheat and other products go to produce meat. This would create food for the country 5X over if we eliminated meat from our diet. I guess since you care about the poor and hungary so much you'll cut out meat now.
Or how about what companies you support. Do you support P&G, Starbucks, Nestle or other big coffee companies? The "free" trade practices of these companies leave nations in poverty instead of offering fair trade for their natural resources. There are many things that you can do that I'd be willing to bet that you simply pass over because it does not fit your level of convenience. Hunting though, that you like so you are willing to do something with that.
We were not originally designed to hunt because we were not originally designed to eat meat. Our body structure is made up like an herbivores, from intestinal length to stomach acid strength to our sophisticated sweat gland system, not to mention countless other characteristic traits that link us to herbivores. Man exploring out of our natural warm climates into colder climates forced us to do the unnatural. We learned to kill animals for food from watching other animals do it. We do not have an instinct to kill animals. This is why slaughterhouses are kept out of public eye. The meat industry knows that they need "an out of sight out of mind" thing going on to keep it going. You don't look at a cow and want to eat it like you would an apple. Anyone saying otherwise is a liar.
Do you know the difference between taught and instinct? You may need to learn how to hunt but you do have a natural instinct to do so. Humans that go out hunting is taught, not instinct.
Yes, some animals kill other animals but not all animals. Why do we have to be compared to the animals that kill? You don't see herbivores out there killing others unless there is a fight over territory.
So we hunted before tools????
hno: I guess we used our claws and strong jaws and sharp teeth and speed and strength to do this. If you think this than you are not simply uninformed, you are an idiot.You can't bring god into this because this is a faith, meaning that you believe it but it can't be proven. I'm talking about provable facts, not what a supposed god says. I'm not going to get into an entire different topic by going into religion but you need scientific proof, not fairy tale arguments.
Our dentition is that of a vegetarian. Our earliest ancestors may have relied heavily on root foods such as yams. Yams refer to a group of tuber bearing plants that includes about 600 species. They grow in moist hot climates and are today a major food crop in tropical countries. The starch tuber grows underground and would have to be dug up. A group of people, called the Banda have left remains of tools, identified as hoes or picks and dated as up to 75,000 years old. They lived in the region between the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers. Such wild plants would have represented an unexploited resource before early humans found that some of them were edible (and others toxic).
If you look into our very beginning we were not omnivores nor hunters. We adapted to other ways of life because of our movement into cold climates.

You posted a response to a fact based post of mine with "bullshit". You did not then, or now, counter one thing that I said. That shows me an uneducated person. Or at the very least a person that is ignorant to the topic at hand which should make your view on it worthless. As for killing hunters, if it is their right to kill animals, shouldn't it be the right of others to kill them? You defeat your own argument. Yet another sign of an uneducated person. Get angry if you want but I am just calling it how I see it.
As for the herbivore thing.
1. man has a lengthy intestinal track (12X the length of our body) which any omnivores' digestive track is right around 3X the their length. This is because meat needs to pass through a system quickly or it decays and fills a body with bacteria.
2. we have a sophisticated sweat gland system. omnivores and carnivores sweat through their tongues, not bodies. This is because most hunters do a lot of it at night and tend to rest more during the day.
3. No claws
4. teeth do not fit an omnivore
5. we are effected by cholesteral which does not effect meat eating animals.
6. our stomach acids are around 20X weaker then any omnivores. this is because we don't need to break down the harsh bacteria in meat. which leads to #7. we need to cook our food.
I can go on and on about the countless things that make us herbivores. Now give me a couple things that make us omnivores.
