Very nice post, Jack.

I'd like to ad a couple of thoughts.

1. A Spanish philosopher named Garcia Y Robertson (or Garcia Y Vega or something like that) stated "We do not hunt to kill, but rather kill to have hunted."

2. I never fall asleep as contented as when I have just put meat (or fish fillets) in the freezer. I believe it's 3 million years of genetically reinforced learning, genes that got passed on by making sure there was food for their next carriers to eat. Anti's may say that this makes me primitive; I think we all share the same genes and only some care to recognize and embrace them.
