godwulf, I don't think you're a hypocrite for eating meat while still being uncomfortable with the killing of animals. Actually, the fact that you eat meat means that there is still hope for the portion of your brain that has been poisoned by Disney's talking animals.

Ducks and geese are meat that haven't yet been made suitable for the plate. The morons who run them over with their cars for fun should be beaten, simply because they're being wasteful and stupid. No, the animals don't have any choice in the matter, because they aren't people.

Fox hunting is kind of sick, but I'm not going to take fox hunters to task, because it's actually the dogs that are directly chasing the fox. The hunters encourage it, and do the actual killing at the end of the chase, but they're no more or less evil than the pack they are following. Why doesn't anyone want to psychoanalyze the hounds?
