Many people that hunt – they pound it into their kid’s head — IF YOU KILL IT, EAT IT!!!
This is to make sure they realize that you’re not allowed to just go out in the woods and shoot anything that’s moving because you can. Songbird up in the tree. Rat rustling around in the bushes. A lizard crawling on a branch.
IF YOU KILL IT, EAT IT!!!
So it was kind of trippy saying Todd say, “Don’t eat what you hunt”.
Is she supposed to just run around out there in the woods and find something and claw it and leave it there bleeding to death and walk off?
I suspect the difference is whether you cook it first. Selkie probably wouldn’t. And while sarnothi immune system is allegedly robust, it may not be adjusted to repel whatever diseases or even toxins the semi-urbanized land animals could have absorbed.
Oh you haven’t heard? There are prion diseases out there. Prions = a kind of very robust protein that is malformed. The danger of them is that they survive normal levels of cooking. Once they’re in your body, since they’re proteins, your body goes “Oh, I need these” and tries to put them to use. Unfortunately, because they’re malformed, they don’t do their jobs correctly and cause your body to develop neurological problems. And your body doesn’t see a problem with their shape, so the body thinks they’re good and starts replicating them.
Look up “Chronic Wasting Disease in deer” if you want horrible, sad, nightmare fuel.
Oh. Mad cow disease. Chronic wasting disease. Got it.
But I see three reasons to kill something. You’re going to eat it – duck flying overhead, bang, roast duck for dinner. You going to hang it on the wall – oh wow. There’s a 47 point buck over there. I got to put him in the trophy room. Bang. Or they are a pest. The raccoon moved into your attic. The squirrels are eating all the nuts off your nut tree. There’s a rat in the pantry that’s chewed a hole into the oatmeal box. There’s a prairie dog village and you’ve had three horses step into prairie dog holes and break their legs. Bang bang bang, kill them. No problem whatsoever.
But kill them just to kill them? Because that sure sounds like what Todd was saying there. Have fun hunting but don’t eat what you killed.
True. I was thinking more along the lines of intentionally going out and killing something. As opposed to killing something to defend myself from attack. But yeah, defense is an excellent fourth reason.
Actually, that was sort of a strange thought.

Todd, as a vegetarian, may not be well-informed about the usual etiquette surrounding hunting.

I looked up prions, after Dave mentioned them.

That’s wrong.

REVENGE THE PONIES! also chickens work well for killing gophers. No gopher will surface in daylight again.
nice to see her claws coming in handy.

Dave i know i sound crazy, but what if there was a sub species (clan?) something that was SALTWATER sarnothi. I made a design for one if you want. 😀
