Sometimes, I too feel the urge to scratch my balls and then kill
something. We do live in an interesting world. Hunting (killing) is
viewed as sport rather than the intentional killing and infliction of
pain and suffering on another animal.

Why buy food at a store, when you can go out and kill it yourself. When
you can watch the animal fall and shake as it's life slips away. Hunters
and farmers are the same thing.
