What's "Shelter from the Storm"? I have not been keeping up with whatever they've been dishing out, clearly...
I have noticed that I'm nowhere near as intolerant and uppity towards hunters/fishers as I used to be. If someone is going to eat animals, and we know most people are not about to stop eating them, it is far better when they go out and directly kill the animal themselves and skin, gut, and bone the carcass themselves. My brother hunts deer on a farmer friend's property, and in the area where he hunts, deer have become overpopulated for lack of predators such as bear and coyote. There's always that vegan who is like "NOBODY NEEDS TO HUNT ANYONE EVER" but that is usually the kind of rabid vegan who approves of forcing a plant based diet on a cat, or who secretly wants domestic cats to go extinct. I knew such a vegan who was entirely ambivalent about the quaxxines, by the way, not even stopping for one second to consider that every quaxx was tested on animals and that the people pushing it were behind Beaglegate, that episode where the government used taxpayer dollars for torturing little dogs with sandflies. Selective blindness is truly amazing!
