the hunt
i decided to separate this topic from the last beacuse it rose an interesting debate. after discussing the contents of the book were pollan vividly describes his ventures as he hunts pigs, the classed discussed is it fair to hunt with guns. i instantly went with yes it is fair. humans are incapable of running amazing speeds or hearing from long distances but we can use our brains. this allowes us to set traps and even us any weapon we seem fit to capture or kill our prey. we adapted to eat meat and we also adapted in a tecelogical sence. so y cant we combine the two to feed our selves in a qucik and efficant manner

I agree that humans have to use their brains (and so tools) to hunt. So the followup question is, "Where do you draw the line?" If a gun is ok, how about an assault rifle? Or is it ok to use a stick of dynamite or an electric wire to get fish to rise to the surface?
