God helps those who help themselves!
I also have NO compunction whatsoever about despatching any injured or ill wildlife i come across.

Then there is fishing, putting a hook inside a fish's mouth and then taking it out and putting it back in; for sport (not even for food)!
The list is endless, as usual, all of us have our own individual lines over which we think we will not go, unless........

Your brother would have been taught to dispatch a rabbit, bird or what ever he needed to for food, he would have been taught how to dispatch it quickly... thats the difference.

I often wonder what all those people who holiday in Egypt, Turkey, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, Israel etc etc eat if they object to halal/kosher methods?
