I seem to remember Socrates arguing the same point (that meat-eating
leads to war), but being Plato-impaired, I can't remember which book it is.
 He was talking about animal agriculture, not indigenous-type hunting, but
I can see how it could be true then, too, humans being the territorial
critters that we are.
