I love cats but feral cats are a huge problem and have no problem with them being killed.
Feral cats can be sterilized and/or relocated.

I think the 'survival-thingy' is sort of a heritable murican neurological defect. Not sure though, but I can't explain it differently.


Anyway, if it's about survival I think it would be most important to know which plants are edible, how to start a fire from scratch, fishing, making traps and basic medical skills/knowledge. Killing animals with guns...yeah sure...best survival skill ever!

I know the ones you are thinking of, some of them are bat-shit crazy,  preparing for the coming apocalypse by stockpiling baked beans and ammunition.  That's not what I'm talking about, it's more a question of living in harmony with the natural world and understanding nature.   

Get out into the great outdoors and breathe that fresh mountain air.   :)
 
Νature is great, but I don't consider shooting up animals to be "living in harmony with the natural world".

It seems that you haven't seen much of the natural world in close up.    :)   

I shouldn't make fun of that attitude,  I am actually completely sympathetic to the view you are expressing,  but nature is not all butterflies and flowers.  There are predators out there as well.
No shit, why do you feel you have to participate in that? There is also a lot of rape and poop eating in nature, I'm not going to go around raping random animals and eating poo because they do it too.

First question: Do you eat meat?

Well then we should also shoot hunters on sight.

First question: Do you eat meat?
Well yes, but I'm trying to go vegetarian right now. I've more or less quit red meat and restricted animal products in general. But I don't think this is a good argument. Just because you eat dead animals doesn't mean you'd find it enjoyable to kill them.

Umm...  "enjoyable"   I don't think that you've quite understood the point I'm making.   But I don't blame you, you are so far removed from the source of the food you eat that I suspect you've never killed anything that you quite happily have eaten in the past,  that you are disconnected from the reality of where your food actually comes from.

As for shooting hunters,  now I know you are just trolling, if you knew the enviromental damage caused by feral cats you'd understand why they should be shot on sight.

 If you want to eat chicken, by all means go ahead,  just stop hiding from the reality that someone had to kill and prepare that meal on your behalf.  Be grateful.

You'd be wrong. It' true that I haven't personally killed anything. Well, I did accidentally kill a bird when I was younger and it was a traumatic experience, I have no idea how anyone could take enjoyment out of it. But Greece overall isn't as urbanized as you may think. I know very well where food comes from. My fucking neighbor kills pigeons routinely to eat them for fuck's sake.

I know they cause damage. But in the areas where they are a problem, capturing them and sterilizing them, or, if the threat is too great, relocating them is a much better option.

I'm about as grateful as I am grateful to companies using sweatshops to sell me stuff for cheap. Ok, I'm exaggerating, but I don't like it at all. Also I'm not trying to just eat chicken, I'm trying to quit all meat. Maybe I'll keep eating fish now and then. But it's not easy to make the transition instantly.

If you want to talk about the havoc caused by feral cats, I'd be more than happy to educate you.  I'm serious,  in Australia feral cats have all but wiped out some species. 

Here's a question for you. When was the last meal that you ate without relying on others to do the hard work for you?  I bet you'd starve if you had to feed yourself.

The greatest damage for the environment are still humans and the animals they breed. Well, cats being one of them. But where I live feral cats mostly hunt mice and birds rather rarely, because cats are not well equipped for hunting birds.

I guess the impact of cats on the environment in Australia is due to the isolated nature of its fauna, that evolved without feline carnivores.

I don't question that they're causing harm. I'm saying there are other ways to deal with the harm, for cats at least. For mice there aren't really many alternatives than just killing them.

What does that have to do with anything? Do you make your own clothes? Did you build your own house? Did you make your own car? I don't understand what the argument is supposed to be. Unless you mean when I last cooked a meal, which again is a weird question and even more pointless.

Meat or in general?

Also, does everyone now has to be able to carry out every profession, just to not let others do the hard work?

Ok, so you have never killed,  cleaned and plucked  a chicken,  but you criticize those who do it on your behalf. 

If on the other hand you aren't actually being critical of those killing animals on your behalf, then you can't criticize people who hunt for food.

As far as building houses and cars go,  yes, someone actually has to do that as well.  Just because you don't have to do it yourself is not relevant.

1.  People eat meat.  maybe you don't but that's not relevant to the debate.
2.  Someone has to kill an animal to provide the meat. 
3.  If you think people shouldn't hunt animals for food,  but happily buy chicken from the supermarket you are a hypocrite.

If I had, you'd probably call me a hypocrite. Look, I don't know why this concept is hard to grasp. There are things that benefit me, but I still think it's cruel to do them. I already tried to explain it with the sweatshop example. Now I don't think farmers are evil. They're doing their job, and while I think it's cruel I wouldn't criticize them. And because I think it's cruel, I'm trying to stop eating meat (for other reasons too, it's just one of many). But hey, it's their job. But hunters (most of them anyways) do it for sport, for their enjoyment. We were talking about them. I don't know why you had to shift the goal posts like that.

Yeah, that's also a false equivalency. Even though I don't think people who hunt because it's their job or something are bad in general, I still think they're bad if what they're doing impacts the ecosystem in a negative way.

Funny you should say that,  I was thinking that kindergarten kids should be made aware of where their food comes from. 

I wonder how many kids don't actually know where their chicken McNuggets come from,  or the meat in their big macs?     

I they knew the truth they'd probably all turn vegetarian like User and DNO.  :)    (Sorry I meant DNS and Pez)

No it is in fact equivalent,  an animal is killed to provide meat in both cases.  You can't object to killing in one case and not the other.

I agree on your ecosystem comment.

For one it's a way to make a living, for the other it's a sport. For one it's a necessity, for the other it's just because they like killing animals. Also extra shittiness points if their hunting endangeres species. But not all farmers are saints either, some treat the animals in their farms awful and large scale farming is just as bad for the environment. I don't really like these people either.

Y'all realize animals in the wild never die of old age, right?
So I can come and kill you because you'd die of old age one day? Top notch logic, sir!

Sure, that's exactly what I said.   ::)

Hunters don't murder the mommies and babies.
They typically take the old males that have been relieved of their siring duties by younger males.

Wolves and lions and disease get their share and are much less selective.


There's a reason things are called side dishes.
