I'm definitely more pro hunting than pro factory farming! But I don't really know of any poor people in industrialized countries who get their meat from hunting, especially not ones that eat meat every day. Maybe some special cases in very rural places? And it's hardly scalable. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) You don't need that to hunt.

Imagine the effort, time and risk involved in hunting and killing a rabbit or deer with a rock, and subsequent slaughtering and storing of meat. Doesn't that represent much more value than the money you would pay for an equivalent amount of nutrition from non-meat sources? At least in an industrialised nation? permalink fedilink source parent [–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago you are moving the goal posts.
