I missed that the first time i looked at your post... It is a damned good question. Does initiating the use of force against a non-sentient animal constitute violence? My gut reaction is no. If so, then I misspoke, and should have phrased that statement differently. Perhaps: "Every time you eat meat, you have made a kill". Since I do hunt, I do not consider this re-statement to be negative. Regards, Kristopher K. Barrett _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
