Philippians 2:3-4

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Philippians 2:3-4

Who Kills Your Food?

OK, maybe that is a little harsh, but many times the more elemental a statement is the more effective it will be. Unless you are a strict vegan, your every day diet probably involves a very inhumane, heartless process of raising animals in squalor, and then herding them to the dispatch facility.

Hunting is a way to get closer to the animals we respect, while giving them a more than fair chance to live their entire life in the natural environment they were meant to inhabit. I am NOT suggesting that everyone should become a hunter. We outstripped the lands ability to support that long ago.

What I am trying to get across is that maybe hunting isn't that barbaric thing everyone would have you believe it to be. In its truest and purest form, it is meant to be reverent and respectful. Grateful for the direct involvement in a pursuit that brings one closer to the actual symbiosis God has in mind for us. A life is given so that another can continue, and the relationship between hunter and prey goes on.
