> Where do you draw the line of what's sporting? I think humanity's cunning is why we have domesticated animals and efficient slaughter houses. I think it's when I'm having to do the work against the animal to catch it that's sporting. Driving to the grocery store and buying pre-packaged chunks of muscle isn't particularly sporting. It's not really cunning to stick 3000 chickens in a dark room, dump food on the floor periodically, and then vaccuum them all up after X months. It's industrial. > I'd bet every slaughtered animal had a person watch it die. Or at least see it alive and know they'd be complicit in the slaughter. This is true, but it's much easier to be complicit in something when it's as impersonal as watching as chickens which are hung from a gantry conveyor slowly make their way past a set of spinning blades which efficiently separate their head from their neck, and you're watching this process for hours a day.
