The fact that geese mate for life, and that the mate of the poor goose that was slaughtered would step forward, was enough to make me swear off meat forever, if I hadn’t already.

14): To the animals being slaughtered, it does not matter whether their killers are local or whether they will be eaten or displayed on a wall. It’s time to stop pandering to hunters and the gun lobby and turn to humane measures to control the deer population and outlaw this barbaric pastime. Their suffering is the same.
