15. Hunting
Although I don’t personally eat meat or enjoy killing animals for my consumption, I would rather everyone who eats meat hunt their own instead of supporting the factory farming industry. The skill of hunting used to be more humane and for the purpose of survival only, a certain dance between hunter and hunted, predator and prey. The average hunter wouldn’t kill in mass numbers either, just enough to feed the family; and any respectable hunter would use every part of the animal, not letting anything go to waste. Unfortunately, we’ve lost that notion and have taken meat consumption to a whole new level—and it’s killing our planet. Fortunately, there’s good news—you can make a change by not supporting factory farming, consuming less meat in general, and not participate in killing for novelty.
