I have over a dozen koi now, it's the closest I'll get to fishing as you can hand feed them. I also have chickens but I currently only have them for the eggs. The only time I ever killed an animal was when I was like six and it's because something under an inch of dirt scared the shit out of me. I still feel bad to this day.You should kill something and eat it at some point in your life. It's an important learning moment to be an active part of the circle of life. Killing animals doesn't have to be seen as painful or inhumane. You could always raise chickens in a happy free range environment and still eat them. And I promise, raising chickens or even fishing, is way less painful to animals than eating factory farmed meat from the grocery store.
That being said. Not sure if Null has ever visited SHTF, but one regular poster there claims that the high cost of eggs is due to the fact there's a war coming up. Fun forum to visit for survival reads, but the people there can be quite insane.
