When you are driving down a country road or walking through the woods or a field, or maybe when you're just standing and looking out a window, and you see an animal or a bird that falls into the "game" catagory; what is the first thing that comes to mind. ( you know, like a squirrel, rabbit, deer, duck, dove......) Do you think cute critter or meat on the table. I'm sorry but I see chow Maybe it's from a rural upbringing where game and fish were an important part of life. It could also be this pleasant time in my life I like to remember. Either way I aim imaginary guns and rub my tummy alot....crazy ain't it. I don't even have time to hunt anymore but I wouldn't have any difficulty reverting. I occasionally get that shiny glazed look in my eyes and I weave at a squirrel; but I always veer and tell myself I don't have time to clean him Anyone else out there like this

It's the wild turkeys and hogs around my parts that make me think BBQ and deep fryer. Every time I see the ocean I think fish fry. Wild hogs are encroaching into town now I think. Saw one as road pizza inside the city limits a while back. Anyone who has never seen the damage that wild hogs can do would not believe it unless seen with their own eyes. I think those critters could root up an oak tree.

I see a cute animal... and when I get hungry, I head to the grocery store.

Friend of ours just had a wild pig run out in front of his car last night... completely totaled the front end of his car. Unbelievable damage!

I've never ate any of those animals so, no. But even if I see a chicken or a pig, I don't think of food. I know it's a source of food but it's not like some cartoon where you see a bubble over the cats head as he thinks of the bird all roasted and ready to eat.

I imagine if I were literally starving and needed to kill my own food in order to survive I would certainly be looking at animals and picturing them as meat, ready to eat. But I am not that desperate and therefore I don't vividly picture them as food, even though in general I acknowledge they can be.

I'm reading your post and I'm having those images that are all covered in dotted lines like roast, chops and ribs

A Dove will land in the back yard and me and my cat always give it a stare down and start to stalk towards it LOL

No No No!!! When I see a critter I'm thinking it's a potential pet. I'll act like a complete fool talking to whatever it is - usually birds - and trying to feed them so they will come closer.
