Guest guest Posted April 29, 2001 Report Share Posted April 29, 2001 ---Dear Tony, That would depend on the culture you pose the question to. In my culture, it is not seen as improper if you pay the proper respect to the one you take, take only what is needed and say a prayer for the spirit of the one who has sacrificed for the good of the many. Life is a sacred circle, or it is so among my people. the creatures here are our brothers, the earth our mother, the creator is the Grandfather to all living things, and loves us all equally. Grandfather teaches us that When you do harm to the least of your brothers, you do so also unto me. All that live must eventually die, it is how you live and die that is of importance. If you remember to tread lightly upon the face of our mother earth, have respect for all your brothers, take only what is needed and never without asking, or thanking the one who offers to meet your needs, Then you have acted in the proper way. Life must be in balance. Without the taking of some of our animal brothers, they would be always sick, hungry, diseased, in pain, this is not the proper way, life would then be out of balance. So you see my brother it is dependant upon the culture you pose your question to on the response you receive.
