Great topic and i respect your point of view. However man is a part of the food chain and shouldn't be removed from it or considered above it. Most animals only take what they need to survive. (except cats, cats kill for fun, i don't like cats) i spend a lot of my time in what some may call "out bush" and i find the environment in South Australia harsh and demanding. Unlike my homeland England, where all i need for survival is a good knife, here additional essentials are required if one is to survive. i believe if your not prepared to kill, gut and skin an animal, then you have no right in eating the meat from that animal. Most have lost their connection with the natural world and will never be able to return to nature or live in harmony with it. Most live in cities and will never understand a spiritual connection with the land. Lack of respect is not just a carnivore and omnivore issue, vegans - vegetarians while i respect their veiws, most of them have no clue in how to grow their own food and in so doing have no respect for it. My greatest fear at this moment is that the "Australian Government" are planning to release a virus into the waterways to kill the carp. this will result in millions of tons of dead fish floating and sinking to the bottom of the rivers to rot, which will in turn putrefy the rivers killing lots of aquatic life and also poisoning our own water supply. This is the same people that introduced the mosquito fish, that has devastated native fish numbers by eating fish eggs and not mosquitoes and cane toads and viruses such as myxy that horribly kill and disfigure rabbits and when that didn't work, calcivirus which also kills cats. if one is to be a good steward for nature, then stop screwing with it. Some may argue that they are invading species and need to be eradicated, i would reply so are white folks, cats, dogs, cows, sheep, horses etc etc. Start simple and pick up your rubbish and take it home. Take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but footprints.
