 And many people don’t care about the well-being of the animals they eat or get something from. I think this is just sad. 
 Context? I’m a hunter and care very deeply about animals. 
 Don’t get me wrong, I went regularly hunting with my parents! I grow up like this 🙌🏼 
I talk about mass industry and that most people eat meat without being mindful and grateful. Today’s society got out of touch with the value of meat. At least many. 
I wonder if this mass exploration will ever end, we have so many people on this planet to feed. This totally got out of balance.

 Whats it like to kill so young 
 I grow up like this. It was normal. 
You should carry a lot of respect and be sure about your shot, the animal should not suffer. I wasn’t allowed to shoot obviously, but I helped carrying and slaughtering. And you spend a lot of time just observing nature. 
My grandparents still slaughter their gooses and ducks. They put much work and love into them the whole year, it’s not easy to end a life, but they do it, when they were young, they had to do it, they grow up like this. 

Today? I couldn’t do this anymore. 

Maybe @skymind wants say something? 
 This I like. I have a ritual where every animal I shoot I thank it for putting food on the table. I hate talking to people who are against hunting but pro-mass meat industry.

 Industrial animal farming is one of the worst crimes we commit; it is very inhumane and immoral. 
 I like my cows came in before cooked
