We don't take the animals any where to be processed, so we are part of the whole process from the hunt, the kill, field dressing, skinning, dressing, separating, storing, cooking and eating. I think if you are a family or individual that eats meat this is important to be a part of it like this. It gives you a respect for the animal and the cycle. It's not as impersonal as going to the store to pick up a prepackaged chunk of something or other. Being involved on this level gives you a respect and appreciation for life and it's cycle you are a part of if you are a meat eater.

That doesn't mean I can't be sad as another mother at the loss of that life and the life of a fetus.
