Can any of the vegetarians on the list confirm that many veggies take
protein supplements? Or is that not true?

The idea of humane killing is a bit of a moral figleaf. I'm sure
it's a
great comfort to the deer to know it's being killed with kindness.
I'd love to do some primeval hunting: kill it, skin it, eat it.
Dance round
the fire in the nuddy after.

Admittedly your not in an abattoir with the gun-thing pressed up to
its
head, but you're not going to kill a deer with buckshot at more
than 12
paces anyway - and only then if you're a good shot. Spears would be
unnecessarily cruel. You're killing the animal for food, not for
pleasure.
But the point is - when you eat your venison, you know where it
comes from,
there's no hypocritical "from the supermarket", you know that the
beast had
the life that nature (almost) intended (there's no more wolves) and
if its
death was a little more mechanised than tooth and claw, at least it
was
quicker. And you deal directly with cleaning up (and cutting up ;)
- no
opaque plastic clingfilm to help you ignore what you've done.
A friend of mine raises two or three pigs a year. He gets
inordinately
attached to them (as I would I'm sure) so his mum has to kill them.
Even
so,
he has no moral dilemma - he just knows the moral cost of what he's
eating.
Unlike, I suspect, most people who for example consume any milk
product -
dairy farming truly is horrible.

How about spears instead? If you're going to kill something, the
least
you
can do is look it in the eye.
