You've nailed it Jim. 'Killing for pleasure'. That's exactly what I object to. I eat meat, and animals have been slaughtered for me and all the other omnivores to do so. But I could never take pleasure in killing any creature for sport or trophy hunting.

I've seen real starvation, and my husband has quite literally starved, before we met.
We now share what we can money-wise to help feed our African kin.
My husband's tribe in past generations were hunter-gatherers ( with spears and bows-and-arrows) on the savannah of southern Mali and northern Cote d'Ivoire. But it was in order to survive, not a fun sport.

I'm sorry if my posts upset olddude, whom I like very much. But I cannot understand or condone 'enjoying' killing animals.
