Lindsay: So, Jake we were just talking about zoos. Now, I'm curious. What do you think about hunting? Do you like hunting?
Jake: Not really. I know a lot of people who do hunt though.
Lindsay: What do they hunt?
Jake: Well, deer mostly and sometimes grouse 1 and different birds.
Lindsay: Do they use a gun or a bow and arrow 2?
Jake: They use guns.
Lindsay: Yeah, I don't know about hunting. I'm not a really big fan of hunting.
Jake: Yeah, a lot of people enjoy it I guess, and plus they get to eat the animals after they hunt them.
Lindsay: Yeah, my father was a very big hunter. He actually kept a big rifle 3 gun and would go pheasant hunting twice a year. He would always come back with this nasty 4 pheasant and put it in our freezer but my mom never knew how to cook it so it would just stay in our freezer forever.
Jake: So you never ate the pheasant?
Lindsay: We never ate the pheasant. But in general both my mom and I were very upset with my father for hunting. We just didn't think he needed to go out and shoot poor animals.
Jake: But he must have really enjoyed it to go against you and your mother's wishes and go hunting all the time.
Lindsay: That's a good point. He did really enjoy it and basically 5 he just did what he wanted to do, but have you ever eaten a hunted deer?
Jake: Yes, I have, and it was pretty good actually.
Lindsay: Does it taste different than cow?
Jake: It's not the same as cow definitely 6, but it's not a really unusual tasting meat either, I would say.
Lindsay: OK, so someone went and hunted the deer and then served it to you?
Jake: Yes.
Lindsay: And that was OK for you?
Jake: Yes, it was OK for me because I eat cow and chicken all the time and I don't see how that's different.
Lindsay: Yeah, but this deer was in the wild, and what if it was a mother?
Jake: Well, some of the cows that we eat are mothers as well.
Lindsay: You think so? I never really thought about that. I guess you're right, but something about the idea of going out and shooting 7 a poor deer. It just reminds me of Bambi. It's so sad.
Jake: Not really. I know a lot of people who do hunt though.
Lindsay: What do they hunt?
Jake: Well, deer mostly and sometimes grouse 1 and different birds.
