Stefan,
You did a great job of explaining how it could happen without approving it. Your interpretation was clear and well thought out. Good job, and thanks to Thamnophis for enlightening all of us about the way frog legs are processed .

I mentioned on another thread that I often feed my garter snakes scraps of caribou meat. It's from animals that I've personally killed and processed. Many people would find hunting distasteful, but I consider it a personal and private way to provide extremely healthy and well-cared for meat for myself and my family. Perhaps, as GarterGuy suggested, the difference lies in the way that the animal is killed. The goal of most hunters is to make a quick and clean kill and to pass up shot opportunities that might lead to suffering or a wounded animal. That shows respect for the animal and provides a great deal of satisfaction. I think THAT's where the difference lies between hunting and providing frog legs... It's the respect shown for the animal during the kill.
