I, however, don't assume from it that bushmeat consumption is commonplace in the USA and the the US is a barbarous country as a result. In your original post it seemed you were attempting to imply it was both legal and not abnormal.
Again I ask you, why do you think that eating bushmeat is commonplace in France and Belgium? It isn't. It is illegal.
You have completely failed to address my second, and main, point, you seem to think eating animal meat of certain species is a crime equal to or surpassing killing human beings.
Do you? And if so, why? |
Sorry, didn't mean to imply it was commonplace ... was pointing out that the same policymakers who were so pious about the death penalty were so suspect in other areas
Sorry, if I seem vague on the point -- yes, I do think it abominable to eat certain animal species, at about the same level of abomination as eating other humans
Yes, I have no moral qualms with the death penalty, assuming due process were followed
Yes, I have big moral problems with a human that would use its power to kill another human, or defenseless animal
