As for morality - what are you talking about statistics and facts for what I consider moral or not? I wasn't aware that it was a matter of mathematical analysis.

Anyway, an interesting article related to this thread I read the other day:

Re: people not going hunting because of hunger. Corporations which provide the meat that is purchased in restaurants and supermarkets are not killing the animals directly because of hunger either, they're doing it for money. So when you buy their products, you're -gasp!- supporting killing animals for a motive other than purely eating them. How is this somehow better? I really don't get it.
Umm you gotta be kidding. Should I find pictures of animals that were shot and didn't die right away or died painfully? And then that would negate your post which didn't have facts and figures?

If someone goes to the supermarket to buy food, they don't go to make a corporation rich; they go to purchase food. Your reasoning doesn't follow through so maybe that's why you don't get it. Now let's say someone named Pocahantas lives in the woods and hunts buffalo for food, shelter, and clothing - I'd have no problem with that.
