Speaking as a hunter and fisherman, it is immensely more satisfying
and in an odd way, more real. I do not for one instance expect
anyone to share the feeling or the belief, but I feel it is much
more moral to participate in the taking of the meat you eat than
simply to hide it away out of sight and buy little prepackaged
products. If I lived in what FOR ME would be the hell of a big
city, I could not do this and the artificiality of such a life
would be unbearable.
