I know this blog is about exploring interests that have never been my own, but I don’t think I can get into the hunting thing. I’m not sure I understand it either. I mean, I understand the purpose of hunting in terms of survival and nourishment and even the necessity of hunting to balance the environment in some cases… but I don’t understand the whole mindset of its attraction as a sport.
I love a good pork chop and make a mean meatloaf too, but I keep my mental distance from what happens before that neatly packaged and unrecognizable part of the animal makes it into the grocery store. I guess this ‘interest’ is going to take some more conversations and probing for me to understand the triggering of pleasure receptors at the success of a kill.
In the meantime, I think Marisa Tomei said it best…
Yeppp.
Begrudgingly,
BB
