[QUOTE="JayKay, post: 330078, member: 324"] Seems to me that hunting something that resembles us, brings to mind images of the Schwarzenegar movie Running Man. I have no doubt that the baboons would have no qualms if the tables were turned. I have no doubt that a 100 lb buck 'boon would tear you a new one, given the chance. Even so, watching them use tools to eat, exist in families (packs) and look a person right in the eyes, would give me pause, at 10 yards. At that distance though, if you didn't seal the deal, they'd be at your throat in seconds, and then you better have a plan B. It's interesting how we think nothing of killing and eating some animals, but shy away from others. Sometimes that's because of a cuteness factor. I love eating fish, but eating dolphin (the mammal) surely seems icky. I love chicken, but Bald Eagle sure doesn't seem right. I think eating a Sea Lion, Leopard Seal, or Walrus would be just fine, but killing baby harp seals seems to be "wrong". In the end, it's meat. In the Bible, God put man in dominion over the animals, for our use. I totally understand it. Of course, in other cultures, things are different too. I love a steak, but in some parts of the world, cows are divine. I guess I define "divine" more along the lines of "medium-rare". Just my two cents.. Jaykay [/QUOTE]
