The Killing of Animals in its many aspects

[godwulf]

By the way, Brigliadore, I didn't mean to suggest that you were the one who brought the matter of the animals' feelings into the discussion - actually, that was probably me when I wrote, "Don't the animal's feelings count for anything?".

I believe that when I wrote that, I was thinking not so much of the animal's feelings, as such, but of the animal's natural right to live until such time as it is taken down by the food chain - and no, I don't consider a camouflaged hunter with a high-powered rifle and scope a part of the food chain. Not unless he's being eaten by something else, anyway.
