Would you still eat meat if you had to kill it yourself?

Yes. Have not been able to yet, mostly because I have never been able to hunt, but I am confident that the meat would taste better knowing I put effort into getting it.
I'm a hunter and I'm glad to say that natural meat taste amazingly better then anything you could buy at a store. I have even made home-made venison jerky. The same goes for small game and waterfoul (duck, pheasant, ect.).Wouldukindly said:
Note: The best part of a deer is the backstraps (also known as the tenderloins), which you only get 2-3 pounds from a medium sized deer. There are only 3 ways to obtain Backstraps:
1)Take a deer yourself
2)Be very good friends with someone who hunts (and is willing to share some).
3)Buy some online, which cost about $65 USD per pound, plus over-night shipping
Yeah that was my point for this question. In real life I rarely find people who would actually want to do it.the_tramp said:
That depends on how hungry you are surely. If you were hunting for your tribe and you bring back a whole buffalo then you will probably not waste it.Khell_Sennet said:
If you hunted for yourself, and shot a buffalo, then is that even necessary?

Does this mean most hardcore gamers are all natural born killers?
I could do it to fish, I really couldn't do it to anything else. Especially little cuddly rabbits and stuff.
I agree id much rather hunt it and kill it rather than raise it to be slaughtered. I actually am going to start hunting soon.
As weird as it sounds I dont think I could kill and animal i raised I would probably become somewhat emotionally attached to it, ya know watching it grow and all.

I like turkey on a platter, skinned and cooked.
I hate turkey on the meadow, feathered and squawking.
Works for me.
Hand me the buckshot.

Would it make a difference if fish were soft and cuddly?
I don't eat meat now, but if I could kill it with my own hands and prepare it myself, I would. If I could eat meat knowing that I killed it myself, it's okay with me, though I'm afraid I would be a little nervous about the cleaning and gutting at first. My only problem is that it's just plain silly to raise thousands of cows and such just to kill on a conveyor belt. There is, of course, the added bonus of hand-killed meat tasting a hundred times better than that stuff in the store.
I'd quite happily hunt, kill and prepare meat (a stint in an abattoir will have that effect on ya) but I wouldn't like to eat it.
wouldnt be too hard and working for it would surely be good for you, cows are stupid, slow, and tasty. Bad combination lol. its not that im a natural born killer its just that it would be easier to feed my addiction a different way than give it up altogether.
Honestly, barring a life-or-death situation, I probably couldn't. I'm kind of a sissy, it's hard enough for me to eat meat as it is, if I actually had to think about what I was eating, I'd probably become a vegetarian right off the bat.
