For me it is like this : If I need to survive, yes I probably could If I lived in Russia where temperatures drop below 30 degrees C I could even kill an animal for its coat.
Living in a moderate climate like Britain
I do not "need" a fur coat nor do I "need" to eat meat. But that is just a very personal choice and I would not dream of attacking anybody for their different choices. |

Does killing a bar of organic B & G chocolate count? It is just that I have no ethical issues with that |

As a child on holiday I would catch, gut and fillet a variety of fish. Catch crab and lobster in pots and then cook and dress them (no not in clothes fool!)… also killed and plucked chickens, skinned rabbits and so on.
I may be a bit dubious about killing a cow or something else on the large side… but armed with suitable implements, I am pretty sure I’d manage it.

Yep and its not a bad thing for all to see. Maybe we would waste less food if we all were more aware of where it comes from first hand. |

I was raised with family members and neighbours, hunting fishing and growing food, so catching, shooting, slaughtering,or indeed growing then cooking and eating is not a problem for me.
I make sure my kids know where animals and fish come from, how they are caught and killed, and that they don't come ready filleted and shrink wrapped from a supermarket shelf, I believe it is important that my kids know an animal is a living source of food and as such should be reared with respect, killed with respect and eaten with such! xxx |

Yet another raised on farms. I have no problems with killing for food, when I was younger I helped the butcher who used to come round (then they could euthanise the animals themselves) to put the animal to sleep then prepare them ( a pig twice a year and a cow once a year for each worker) this fed us for most of the year.
There was only the once I couldn't do it and that was a cow I'd raised from a 2 day old calf, I just couldn't bear to kill her as she was more like a pet broke my heart it did when I noticed the freezer full next day  |

i dont even buy animals for food so im sure as shit not killing one lol
The only way i would ever kill an animal for food was if i got ship wrecked somewhere, miles from civilisation with my kids and its was the only way i could feed them, but seeing as the chances of that ever happening are nill i have nothing to worry about lol |
