Dear Allcreatures person, (do you have a name?) I was the person who asked if you knew where you were and inquired as to your delicate sensibilities. I did not attack you in any way that I can perceive. In fact, I was looking out for your apparently sensitive nature. This list is full of feisty carnivores (for the most part - bows to the exceptions, Amadeus and Siobhan - feisty but not carnivores, and any others) and all and all we are a pretty scrappy bunch. I really did feel (and still do) that we might be a bit too carnal for your taste. We do discuss Paleo activities, such as bear killing in a primitive type way, as part of an intellectual fact finding pursuit for the truth of our ancestral lifestyle and diet (at least I do). You said it made you sad and thought it cruel. Your sympathies were obviously with the bear, not with the humans trying their best to survive. I abhor cruelty as well, but that was not the subject we were talking about. Originally, we were talking about the synergistic relationship between human and and canine and how that impacted hunting skills and therefore diet. You interjected your sadness and dismay at the idea of the "cruelty" of it all. The initial "emotional overreaction" was, in fact, yours. You think us unkind? I think not, but if you do, my assertion stands without apology.
