We don't have deer season here because we have no feral deer. We do have farmed deer, and the meat is hideously expensive.
I think we have duck season.
Doesn't bother me because I'm not fond of the taste of game meat. Nor do I share or understand the atavistic pleasure hunters seem to get from killing things.
Of course, I think I would soon learn to hunt or even kill chickens if it was the only way I could have meat to eat. Until that time I'll buy meat the supermarket in its neat little packages..
Some one here recently commented on a young woman with fashionably torn jeans and a sign as advocating an "effete cause" Finally, some one whose attitude seems similar to mine. Intolerant old fuck that I am, I think PETA are a bunch of little old ladies of both sexes who care more about animals than people.
There are two countries which come to mind in which vegetarianism is especially common; India and China, especially in rural areas. As far as I can tell, for a great many people in those countries this is simply because they cannot afford meat . Consequently, I see vegetarianism in affluent countries such as my own as a little pretentious.
A secular humanist, I'm unable to see animals as more important than people. The claims on the privvy purse are many and my finances limited. Consequently I am only able to support charities which help people. Although, I have always obtained my dogs from animal welfare. My present dog, a Jack Russell, cost me $700. He's my fifth since 1976.
