Animals will live a life of birth and death no matter how we treat them. Not eating animals won't save them from preditors. I will not buy animals products from factory farms because factory farms are destorying our enviornment, are cruel to animals and their workers. Plus they are destroying what has supported humans for over 10,000 years our heritage livestock and seeds.
I don't hunt, never have except when I was very young and went hunting with my family, but I can skin and part out any animal, can or freeze their meat...up north there are not a lot of veggies if our food grid system breaks down. Keeping the old ways is important just in case...
I wish you the best on your spiritual journey warrior friend <3
Ditto! Indeed, I've been the warrior. Many times. Blessings.
