I ask this because the UN Commission on Global Warming, (which is led by a vegetarian) is saying that to save the planet we must give up meat. I know that not all hunters are meat hunters but I don't know of any that are vegetarians. But maybe I am missing something.

This is not the right place for a debate on global warming or the UN so please as tempting as it is, no comments on those topics.

For the record I don't know of any myself.
 
I have known a few veggies, note I said known, all I have ever seen them do is "hunt" a way to get me to stop eating meat. LOL
 
he was

my buddy who was a veg hed hippy type wanted to start
fishing we took him a few times and he gave away some
salmon and after a few of those he took one home and
that was it . after awhile he was having cheese burgers:D:D
 
I was related to a whole family of "catch-and-release" fishermen. The only "seafood" we ever ate, that we caught ourselves, was maybe a dozen 1 or 2 pound walleyes we filleted on a shore dinner and fried on a driftwood fire. Fishing was for catching, not eating about 80% of the time.
 
I hunted when I was a vegetarian.

I never had any ethical problem with meat, I was just fat and meat was (and is) my main food weakness. So I took extreme action.

Hunting was more about hanging out with my relatives, and they had no problem eating up my share of the critters.
 
I have a church member who hunts to feed the homeless. and he is a vegetarian. Only uses the meat for wild game feast and to feed the homeless. :D He just dont know how good Bambi taste..:D:D
 
You can only carry 2 or 3

We got a ton of salmon and stealhead in all the local
rivers put there by a hatchery when they were smolts
and they grow and go to the ocean and back for us to
catch instead of the wild fish that are also in the river
only the commercial fisherman can keep wild fish


ISNT THAT GREAT
 
I don't know any vegetarians...period.

Nothing against them, and to each their own choices, but I don't know any.

No but I do know some fishermen that don't eat seafood

I do as well. My father grew up in the mountains fishing and retired to the beach in Florida. He still fishes but he never liked seafood, just fresh water fish. He gives away his catch to the neighbors.

Interesting that the percentage is so high. Makes me wonder.
 
So if we stop killing animals for meat, won't they continue breeding, making more animals that fart, causing global warming to increase?

And what if 6 billion people on the planet all started eating only vegetables? The major source of protein for vegetarians is beans! 6,000,000,000 people eating beans and farting!?!? Talk about greenhouse gases!!!
 
Vegetarian is american indian for poor hunter. I have a friend who is a veggie but he lets me hunt his 250 acres that he homesteads on. He used to raise turkeys for thanksgiving but now he hunts them, costs a lot less, where it is on his own land he doesn't have to buy a hunting license.

Maybe someday they will load shotshells with very soft shot. We could then shoot birds, stun them a bit, photograph them, and release them. Trying to figure out a catch and release method for bears might take more figuring out.:D
 
Not to mention the millions more acres needed to produce enough veg-protein to feed the billions..= major habitat loss = end of huge numbers of the world's wildlife. Senseless, just senseless. Talk to the hand though, you can't convince 'em. They're all mathematically-challenged.
It's impossible to mention vegans without getting at least some bites.:(
 
Yeah the real lulus call themselves Vegans. By definition: Will not eat anything that has had a mother or a face!! No animal protein at all (eggs,cheese,milk etc..) Try a vegetable diet once consisting of chick peas and beans - fly me to the moon!!:DLets make the world a warm fuzzy place-get real people!
 
Most Efficent Food

I read somewhere that the most efficent food source is big game hunting. If a hunter drives fifty miles to hunt, and you figure out the energy he used versus the amount of food he gets, it beats all other sources of food. I don't remember the figures, but the amount of energy required to produce one loaf of bread was incredible.

They always talk about this carbon footprint crap. Hunters leave the smallest.
 
Everybody gets to do whatever they want that doesn't hurt someone else, here in the US- Vegans and vegetarians can eat what they want and not eat what they want as well, because like so many other things, their choice of diet has no effect on anyone else.

The way I see it, all that can be said is "I wouldn't do that", not "You shouldn't do that", unless "that" means hurting someone else. There's way, way too much telling others how to live their lives lately, that's no one's business. Efforts against hunting are a form of that presumption, the PETA folks have a lot in common with others who would make the world over into what they are in some arrogant assumption they are morally or ethically superior to everyone else.
