I’m vegetarian and my partner is vegan but neither of us are strictly against the “hunter and gatherer” approach.

Where I live traditional hunting is almost nonexistent, but fishing and other ocean-based “hunting” (crabs, crays, oysters etc) is super popular. I’ve considered taking up spearfishing as it’s more intentional than throwing in a hook and dragging up whatever, and requires more (in my opinion) skill and nerve to pull off successfully. But even if I actually caught something the thought of cleaning it puts me off and I’d more than likely ruin it and waste a life for nothing.

No issues with anyone that can fairly catch and prepare their own meat for themselves, but I’ll stick to my tofu and seitan for now.

    IMHO traditional hunting isn't a problem at all. It's sustainable and the animal gets a real life and a respectful death.

    I'm not gonna do it myself but I'm not going to tell some Inuit that his ancestors were all wrong.
