How would you handle this? What would you say?

Id Just blow it off and let it go.

I would have pointed out that a pig was "murdered" to make that bacon. Then I would have left it at that.

Murder is the unlawful killing, with malice aforethought, of another human, and generally this premeditated state of mind distinguishes murder from other forms of unlawful homicide (such as manslaughter).

You don't murder animals, you kill them and grill'em.

Whew!!!! Glad I opened this back up bjsexpress.

when I saw your handle in the menu list; I saw bisexpress. Not hating or anything, just saying.

You need to think a little quicker on your feet and just roll with it. Laugh it off and send it back her way! Only about 100 different comebacks you could have come up with(which would have made her feel stupid) and both laughed it off afterwards!

Oh I had about 100 things I wanted to say to her, but I didn't see the need to add fuel to the fire.

I meant to post this a few weeks ago but didn't get to it. So this past opening weekend I was at some family land bowhunting, trying to get an axis or a cull. This land was where my grandparents lived, they've both passed, so no one lives there anymore, but anyone in the family is welcome to use it whenever they want.

While I was there my uncle and aunt showed up we had a good visit, until Saturday morning when I walked in the house after the hunt and my aunt asked if I murdered any deer.......crickets. All of this while she is standing there cooking bacon and eggs. She asked me how many deer I've murdered in my life? I told her very politely I've never murdered any deer, but I have killed somewhere between 90-100 deer and her jaw dropped. I tried to explain to her about deer management and what the land can hold, but it fell on deaf ears. She didn't say a single word to me the rest of the weekend, and it was really awkward at best.

How does one handle a situation like this? I felt I did good not telling her to go to hell Opinions?

Geez, that's hard, man. I think you did the right thing at the time. Arguing with her right then and there wouldn't have been smart. She was trying to pick a fight, and that ain't the time for logic.

How does the rest of your family (who uses that land) feel about hunting? What would your grandparents have wanted, and what would honor their wishes? Those are the questions I'd be asking.

My argument usually is what I eat got to live in the wild and died from a predator, me, like animals always do. If I were in the wild I would be in the foid chain too like any other animal. Better to have lived in the wild than captivity for food.

I'm assuming she might a little on the liberal side of the fence and as such probably believes In a woman's wright to choose.
So you could have answered her question with another question like..... If killing deer is murder what would you call an abortion?

[scruboak]

never ever give someone like that a chance to get the upper hand just walk away and let them go on being stupid .

[SM-Houston]

This is definitely an opportunity to educate someone that is ignorant.

Meat is meat. The only real difference between you and her is that you have the guts to own up to being a meat eater and will, literally, bring home your own bacon. She may think she's better than you because she buys her's at the grocery store but I'm positive that a commercial pig's life is not quite so happy as a wild one's.
