Simply put for the thread yes male half has no problem in the dispatch and butchery of any animal due to be put on the dinner table and this isn't theoretical as I've worked in a meat processing plant |

Yep, growing up my Dad used to help out at our Neighbours turkey farm, I have dispatched, gutted and dressed Turkeys. It was always my job at Christmas to choose our bird and look after it until it was time for the oven.

It would depend how hungry I was. All the time I can have butchered and wrapped meat delivered to my door I'm not going to kill it myself. If there was a serious shortage of food and we were keeping chickens and rabbits to feed ourselves, yes I could do it |

Yep.
My dad kept rabbits and chickens for the table. Every Saturday a chicken or rabbit was hanging in the pantry ready for Sunday lunch. |

Yeah, I absolutely could. And did, quite often, when I was younger. It’s quite nice feeling that I’m under no illusions about the source of my food. I know what’s involved and I’ve given it a go for myself, whether it’s fish, bird or beast. |

Probably not to be honest! I’m no veggie but no, I definitely couldn’t kill it! Dead animals are a major phobia of mine! (Which everyone close to me thinks is strange seen as I often work with end of life care)!

If you've grown up on burgers, it might seem strange, but they serve them in places called 'restaurants'. Try them, they taste great. |

I'm vegetarian but if there wasn't any other food and I or friends/family/helpless people needed to eat, then I could kill to eat. If the shit hits the fan, I have my eye on next doors dog first. It looks like it has a lot of steaks on it. |

"I could not. I am no good at all around dead things.
Your profile is strange but also very interesting and alluring "

Yes, but only out of necessity.
I stayed with a family in the US once and they wanted to take me out Deer Hunting. (I'm getting the Deliverance vibe thinking about this).I politely declined the offer, though I did think to myself, "What the fuck is wrong with you ? There are 20+ fast food joints and many supermarkets several blocks away from this house. No one is starving to death here FFS." None of them were farming folks. It made no sense.
(They also wanted to know if I fancied shooting their Magnum, but I declined that as well. I think I may have have conflated Deer Hunting with using a Magnum to hunt, and I just had visions of Bambi being blown away in a red mist, which seemed a tad excessive to me).

I knew someone who use to kill, cook and eat whatever he could get his hands on.
Squirrels, rabbits, snails, crows and whatever else he could get.
One time he gave me some food and when I was tucking into it, I asked him what it was and he told me I was eating a blackbird. |

"Absolutely not, just handling raw meat used to make me gag a little so could imagine killing it and preparing it. Yes, I know I'm a hypocrite"
Don't worry mate,lots of hypocrites on here, you're amongst hypocritical friends |

Probably not.
But then, I never had to.
I have despatched, and held animals that had to be, for medical reasons, but I honestly dont know if I could.
And I am aware that makes me a hypocrite.
If it was kill to eat, or die, that might be a possibility, but I don't think I would know until it came down to it. |

We kept chickens when I was child and I could never bring myself to hold down a hen and cut it's head off with a hatchet... To me they were pets.
If I had too to survive, then yes I would kill my dinner. |

We have a large rifle collection we use at our stables to keep the rat population down other than that have never killed any other animal but the one rule I've always sed was the only reason I would kill something would be if we were going to eat it so yes |

Fruit and vegetables are not sentient beings, which is why I prefer to eat a vegetarian diet, although veganism is a little too extreme for my tastes, and is not nutritionally to sustain a healthy life.
Anomalously, I wouldn't have a problem with fish, as they don't have the same level of sentiency as cattle, sheep, pigs, birds or game.
Vegetarianism is the way forward, in order to feed the excessively high human population on this planet.
Meat production is far too damaging and costly in terms of the energy used, wastefulness produced and emissions created.

Took my son (then aged about 10) down on a farm for a week years ago (had obviously cleared it with the farmer beforehand). Tent/cooking gear etc., and air rifle and fishing line/hooks. Ate what we shot/caught.
Admittedly, first night I had to tap the farmer for a few eggs, to go with the earthworms!
We survived ok, although his mother wasn't impressed!
I shoot, and eat, a lot of game/wildfowl/pigeons/rabbits etc., low in fat and cholesterol! |

"Mmmm Venison.
I heard they put young fawns in a box for a long time to tenderise the meat,is this correct?"
Possibly on a deer farm, but I admit to not knowing, but would have thought that would just promote fat, rather than meat! |

That's ok, I'll eat all the wild animals that will need to be killed to protect your vegan utopia...  |

If I'm hungry enough, I could do anything.
I have necked chickens, turkeys, & pheasants for eating.

We hunt so the Deer population here is growing because no one wants to hunt anymore. We get 4 per harvest usually. |
