The problem there is people in cities could not do it, in many cities it's illegal or not feasible to raise chickens or goats, or to hunt or even trap.
No one is forcing them to live in a concrete prison.
I mean I agree, I prefer rural. I'm told however that nobody else does and that is why cities exist.
fair
Exactly.
I don't think most of those people are going to go for that rule, you'd likely have black market agriculture happening, and that hasn't been working so well for drugs these days. Gonna get turkey laced with fent and shit lol. Good luck with that though!
It could easily be law. I can definitely see governments "revoking" people's "freedom" to kill animals willy-nilly.
Well that's the thing, you'd rather it be willy nilly and the government doesn't allow that currently. Can't hunt in cities, can only hunt X amount of deer for conservation purposes, etc. If you're fine with hunting/butchering (as long as it's not sold) and think otherwise meat consumption should be illegal that means you think more people should hunt or butcher their own food. This would more aptly be described as "willy nilly" than the much smaller number of current butchers and hunters that people are able to buy from. Frankly it seems less "willy nilly" to have only a small number of farms as big as factories producing all the food for everyone.
To each their own I guess.
Fair.
