Very valuable views , thanks everyone

About skinning live rabbits, I guess it was to de-sensitize the soldiers as someone said. Seems they wanted them not to thiink about it if they had to kill a person.

I remember seeing Survivor. A man was carrying a chicken and talking about having to kill her for food. He broke her neck quick and the ladies were in tears. Later one of the ladies buried the chicken legs with thanks for the creature that offered herslef to sustain them.

ummm, too phiolosphical maybe, but OK.

I saw a film once , when two guys were lost in a snow covered land. One of them had a dog and the other guy told him they had to eat the dog. He refused as he considered the dog "like a family member". So, that is another dimension; eating an animal that is somehow attached to you, or you are attached to him. Perhpas in such case, you could use my trick: let someone else do the killing.

Also, do you think you can kill & eat your son/daughter pet ??
