My bullets are hand loaded 180 gr Honady. Velocity at muzzle is 2982 ft per sec.
The target is a beautiful Mule deer buck with mahogany colored antlers. He is massive.
My rifle barks and the mule deer rears back like a stallion. He runs perhaps 20 steps and drops. He was delicious and the first time I ever mounted a rack.
The OP is without question the worst analogy I have ever heard and far out of bounds.As the father of a special needs child I am both appalled and insulted that anyone would compare a special needs child to a freaking cow. I'll eat a cheese burger for lunch in the Op's honor.
Nice shootin!! I have smokes ribs for breakfast today

If we weren't supposed to eat meat, why are pigs made of bacon?

I don't need to justify it, I like meat.

Wew, thank goodness we can't get negative reps on this site . But I did kind of push all the buttons at once.

The reason I made such a bizarre thread is that it's something we need to think about. When we see a human being of lesser capacity, we have compassion on them, I do too. But do animal beings of lesser capacity receive absolutely no compassion? I'm not asking everyone to become vegans, but just to at least think about where your meal came from. Visit a livestock yard. If we did the same to humans of lesser capacity, every one of us would be repulsed. I don't agree with everything of PETA, but there has to be a more humane way to raise animals.

On the flip side, who are you to condemn someone for having an abortion of a child that would have severe special needs when you yourself consume quite a few animals over the course of your life? This makes even less sense to me. If you are arguing abortion is inhumane, maybe we should look at our diet and see how truly inhumane it can be.

I don't eat meat. Don't feel like it. Haven't for 15 years.

If you want to? Fine. I don't care.

The OP is making a very weird and slightly disgusting comparison.

That is all I will say on this thread.

I eat meat because I'm an omnivore, and because I like it and the rest of the world can bite me.

No need to justify anything...

I'm a carnivore. Gimme my steak. With a side of steak, please.

And what the hell do severely disabled kids have to do with humans eating meat?

Interesting that you would celebrate your second chance at life by taking the life of another sentient being.
