Birds and Animals ( Archived) (8)

I'm Naive American and when my parents as their own parents did when they would go hunting they killed for food and had been taught by their parents to make the kill as quick as possible so the animals never had to suffer.? My parents had also been taught to make use of every part of the animals.

Hunting is only for food, not for fun. So is fishing. Still supermarkets are filled with meat and everyday they have to throw food away because it's out of date. I still wonder, why they dont freeze meats, then throwing away isn't necessary at all, so less animals has to go to the slaughterhouse.
And just before christmas, people go shooting deer, rabbits, hare, swine etc. just to give us a delicious meal. Well, I guess animals don't deserve a pieceful christmas and Jesus (I don't believe in God or Jesus) was only there for the people, he didn't give a sjit about animals. He rode on a donkey, but I never read in the bible that he helped sick animals. Or that he cared about nature.

Our politicians obviously don't care too much about nature or climate change either, they only care about money. So I guess, we the people has to take care about nature. Don't buy food wrapped in plastic, if possible. In my country cucumbers all are wrapped in plastic, courgettes ain't The courgette is more tasty, allthough you have to prepare it.

Today I was in the supermarket and I wanted some beer. I planned to buy some cans, but in the SM I decided to go for a different brand today. They had Alfa-beer in cans and in bottle's, both containing 30 cl. A 6-pack of can's was 1 Euro more expensive, so I bought bottles. It is more work, for I have to bring the empty bottles back to the SM, they contain a deposit money etiket. But also it's less spoiling of nature.

Normally I buy a different brand, wheatbeer, but the SM's say that it is summerbeer and I can't buy it from sept 1st-march 30th. They have all kinds of other wheatbeer but they're less tasty. But it prooves the summerbeer fable is BS. They even replaced it for another brand of wheatbeer, but these one come in 50 cl cans, in stead of bottles.

I also often go about 8 km further away to get my fav. brand of wheatbeer in a different supermarket (Guess we have about 10 different brands of SM in the Netherlands), but on the bicycle it's not always easy.

Just boycot anything you don't really need and that is wrapped in plastics. Cookies often are wrapped in plastic with a carton box around it, while chocolate almost never is wrapped in plastic. So buy chocolate in stead of cookies. Some cookies has some chocolate, while some candybars (like Twix) have some cook-filling. Okay, the tast is slightly different, but think about nature before you buy.

Mother nature is our only hope.
