This has been my perspective for a long time. Many things shared in this conversation I have shared with friends in the past. A hunter is dedicated and respectful in his pursuit of a purist type of harvest and lifestyle. A vegan has made a non-mainstream choice, and should be respected for their resolve and steadfast decision to avoid animal proteins of all types. In many ways we both are rebelling against the typical careless thought process most Americans (I cannot speak to other countries habits) have towards where there food comes from, and the terrible heartless ways it is sometimes processed. Purity of food is a mindset that is shared amongst this diverse set. If you truly believe in what you do, you should be ready and willing to thoughtfully explain your position. Thanks to Steve Rinella for sharing his message in a professional manner.
