In a recent Huntsville newspaper, The Forester, a letter to the editor shared a complaint about a butcher’s hunting promotional sign.
The sign reads: “Hunters. You kill ‘em, we cut ‘em.”
A portion of the ‘offended’ citizen’s response is (tea fingers up):
“This type of insensitive advertising has no place alongside other merchants in town. I think it would be socially responsible for the town of Huntsville to insist this slogan be altered to something in better taste.” Entire Article Here
I think someone should remind the person, making the complaint , what a butcher does. They cut, slice, saw and slash in a process that does involve blood, cut flesh and grounding messes. The slogan is a truthful phrase targeting many of the other ‘socially irresponsible‘ people in the community who purchase our meat from the forest.
The truth is – turkeys, cows, chickens (and other barnyard animals) are killed and cut for millions of people every day. The offended letter writer should be writing similar letters of disgust to the “Billions served” who are “loving it” in communities where the golden arches shine brightly.
Thumbs up to Big Daddy Meats in Huntsville for reminding us of the “inconvenient truth” of animal meat processing!
As it is against the law to let game meat spoil I believe that “The Butcher” is providing a unique and valuable service to hunters.
Hopefully successful hunters will use his resources available to ensure quality custom cut venison meats will be available for their freezer providing a legal and safe product for their family after their tag has been filled.
What no one seems to understand is that so-called “humane societies” are just pet butcheries. They kill off surplus populations of mainly cats and dogs but sometimes other pets too.
Humane societies perform the same function in society as deer and bear hunters (of whom we need more) except that deer and bears have a much better than even chance to escape from hunters (at least 90%) because they learn or should learn from an early age to mistrust and avoid the human race as they have done since time immemorial wheras captive dogs ands cat are held fast in a cages before being killed.
Surplus pets are both betrayed and doomed because they are taught to trust the human race from birth and then they are killed under concentration camp conditions.
Worrying about the fact that game animals are killed before being cut up into steaks is a tempest in a tea pot.
Well said! For those of us who eat meat, we ought to be fully aware of where, when, and how our meat is butchered. Humans have been meat eaters for a long time! Many Muskokans hunt game. It is a tradition.
