CWU Girl - With all due respect, there are over 6 billion human inhabitants living on the earth today. How long ya figure the quail and deer populations would last if everyone only ate what they went out and killed? wink

Neither side is changing the other's mind in this discussion, and I highly doubt that they ever will. Let's agree to disagree and call it good! what [/b]
Most of those 6 billion inhabitants do not consume meat like we do in the United States, so your point is lost. We have a cultural bias towards eating it. If the rest of the world ate farm raised meat like we do, I'd hate to know what the cost to the environment would be as well as the human cost (meat is more expensive both in dollars and energy to produce).

We have the ability to treat our food animals well and do not. That is a crime against nature.
