The Killing of Animals in its many aspects

[godwulf]

The fact that it's not cost effective makes no difference.

No, I didn't mean an afterthought literally - like, "Hey, I've got this dead animal here, I'll bet I can eat it!" I meant that the actual consumption of the animal's flesh is not the primary reason that the killing is being done - which, given the far more economical methods of obtaining food that are available to most people, has got to be the norm rather than the exception.
