Jonathan Safran Foer Hunting Quotations

If the thrill of hunting were in the hunt, or even in the marksmanship, a camera would do just as well.

Hunting will never feed lots of people; it will always be a hobby.

It's rarely talked about, but hunting for sport is just about as vile as we humans get.

Cruelty...prefers abstraction. Some have tried to resolved this gap by hunting or butchering an animal themselves, as if those experiences might somehow legitimize the endeavor of eating animals. This is very silly. Murdering someone would surely prove that you are capable of killing, but it woudln't be the most reasonable way to understand why you should or shouldn't do it.
