Actually no, we used to slaughter a pig (with a knife) every year just before christmas and then processed it all, only threw away the gall bladder. Had chickens and ducks, and a small farm. Fully aware how nature works.

You are no better than those silent Muslims who also believe their value system justifies whatever happens to someone else.

Actually a lager part of my reply dealt with the gun violence, perhaps you should re-read it, it is just that the gun supporters chose not to discuss it any longer, which is just fine.
The fact is the "most innocent of innocents" were "blown away" by someone wielding a firearm. No ways around it. And it happens with alarming frequency.
I am not sure what that last statement means.

Nobody is holding a gun to you head (how appropriate), your input neither required nor missed.
