well, try to develop a real understanding for the principle of karma and what it really means. understanding karma means mastering our control of our own life-experiences, futures, and interaction with the universe. 'karma' relays an idea and observation of ancient cultures that one's actions bring about mirrored effects. we control what we 'get' from the universe by what we 'give...namely to other beings. it is a simple but exact 'science'.

so yes perhaps hunting and personal meat eating is better than factory farms. i give you guys credit there. but as you see more from the totality of the experience...it it a strong act of violence, killing/murder of another being, disruption of families, causing of much pain and suffering...physical and emotional...and overall probably not the kind of experience you want for yourself in the future. let other beings do what they will . you are in control of Your own path. imo we should consider if our actions will bring desirable or tolerable reactions to us in our life.

in this view we should act as kindly as possible to all other living beings, even plants and insects, and never put our own well being above theirs because we are one and interconnected in a web of universal karma.
