Seriously, we weren't created to be herbivores/vegetarians. Whats the point of having canines if we aren't supposed to eat meat?! We are omnivores: Meat PLUS veggies :)

Im with Animal lover 65, and hunter gatherer. Im a Native American of the Athabaskan tribe, and live in Interior Alaska, in a little village named Fort Yukon. I live a truly Subsitence lifestlye, I hunt Moose and Caribou for meat, fish for salmon to feed my dog team,pick berries, grow vegetables, yes I have a dog team and I mush them in the winter to run my TRAPLINE.And they love it. They were bred to run run run. I love each and everyone of my dogs and by no means have ever abused them.They live to run, go crazy if they dont get to. They eat nothing but dried salmon.(what does your dog eat?) There is very little income as far as cash for groceries as there are no jobs, the little money I do make is from selling my furs, Military disability benefits( Iraq,2008)and the Alaska permanent fund dividend.A gallon of milk cost $12.72 and gas is around $8 a gallon here. So its not like I can just go to the store and buy whatever I need. You either Shoot it, fish it, or grow it as far as food goes. How can you use the word "barbaric" to describe the relationship between a animal and its owner when the owner feeds it, raises it, and protect it from wolves and disease, and all it has to give is a little wool, a little milk,and its body when its time and when its time to end the life of an animal it is done humanely and fast. Barbaric is a bear eating a Moose alive legs first(seen it).The way we humans treat each other is barbaric. No one that hunts traps fishes enjoys the death of ANY animal, but that is how the world was and still is before people (you)moved to the suburbs and away from having to kill your own food.In fact, This big 6'2 230 lb native man cries when I have to end the life of a fellow animal; we are animals, to natives we see the moose, the fox, even the chickadee as our brothers, and we never take more than we need, always RESPECT them, say prayers and thank you to the animal for giving its life to sustain my own, and my family. Do you realize there are MANY MANY MANY rules and regulations, seasons, methods and means, bag limits created by state wildlife protection agencies? They have proven to be instrumental in controling wildlife populations so you city people can come spend a week in the woods and still see these animals. Which is great, I hope you can know all of our animal brothers. But the fact is we are animals, and animals kill, eat, and use other animals. Also to jsanta, I have been wearing the same caribou skin parka and my beaver skin mukluks for 11 years now, but then again I wear clothes for utility, not to look good.All Im saying is, respect the ways of our(even you city folk)elders,Please try to understand that we human animals are a very important part of the balance of life, god made animals out of meat, leather, and fur for a reason. Please, before you start pushing your beliefs on others, live without all of your modern day technoligies for a while and try to imagine what it was and is still like in the wilderness. Thank you.

I was just reading Animal Lover---or should I say 'mountain man'. I am older than you, but when I was young I went once with an uncle who had laid traps in the nearby swamp land. My uncle was a God fearing family man who owned a lot of land. I was not prepared for what I would see. When we found a trap, and I saw where an animal had chewed off its lower leg to get out of the trap, I went a little crazy. I cried and cried and he took me home. I never forgot that sight and never thought the same of my uncle. Why would you even put something on this site. You must be aware you have an opinion that is not conducive to PETA. You're wrong by the way. There are jackets out there now,that are twice as good at keeping cold and wind off people. You're still living in the past. If the apocalypse happens we will either all die right away or we won't want to live. Do you possibly think I would want to live, isolated in the woods killing animals to live (if there are any left). Why not respect the life of animals who have young, take care of them, feel fear, feel pain. No, I have no respect for people who have to have the latest fad regardless.

You don't understand that animals are NOT ours. It's for people like you why there is war, fighting, and hate. If we were all peaceful and nice to everything the world would be beautiful. But you make it ugly.

Wait, why is Animal Lover 65 even on here? FYI the raising of animals and barbaric killing of them actually produces more CO2 and water waste than the production of alternative goods. The tanning process of the majority of leathers is highly toxic, not to mention usually done overseas, the leather is worn for one season, two max and dumped. So the life cycle of the object is much shorter than a faux version and not only costs more, but pollutes more. Get your facts straight and research before you start boasting of your ignorant ways. Oh and while you're researching, I suggest you look up the Story of Stuff and Food Matters. Meat Eater.

As I talked about in a post a couple of weeks back, ferrets can make wonderful pets. But for some people the most important question that needs to be answered before acquiring one does not center on their suitability as a companion, but their legality.

I am with you Animal Lover 65!! Too many idealists with no idea of real world situations for many of us. Gee Naturegirl16 thanks for the lesson in sustainable existence. I respect life and I would say all indigenous cultures that rely on the land for survival know more about the relationship with the earth and her inhabitants than a mob of blogging Westerners, myself included.

I'd like to address the comment made by Animal Lover 65 ... in the event of an apocalypse we could resort to means of survival. But if we continue to abuse the environment and wildlife as we have, then not only will we hasten the apocalypse, we will also find there is a shortage of what we need should that occur. I gave up beef and pork and found so many great alternatives that I don't even miss them. I actually found this site because I Googled companies that don't use animal hides in their shoes and clothing. So happy to see that there is such a site.
