"No butchering of animals for food?"

I suggested adding an area for hunting.... and apparently its a no go because it is considered butchering animals for food... then what do you call fishing for fish fillets? Is that not butchering an animal for food? I get that the fish get released back into the water after you get the meat... so why can't it be the same way for hunting? Maybe make it so you just "catch" the animal for its meat then it returns to the wild. It seems pretty hypocritical that you can catch fish for meat but not a deer or turkey.

I didn't know there was A ban on butchering animals for food. What has become of this world? I'm going to go eat a hamburger to try to restore some sanity....

Yes.. there is a ban.. its ridiculous. I get its so that its "kid friendly" but just like the pigs..... you can get bacon without killing a big.. so we just squeeze the bacon out of them and they are unharmed.... so let's hunt for wild animals and catch a turkey and "squeeze" the breast from them and let them run wild and free unharmed back into the wild. Even though I believe there's no harm in your child knowing that animals are killed for food.. espetially if they are old enough to play the game. But again.. find keep it so the animals are unharmed.. but I think hunting would be a fun addition. Please consider it.

Your other thread was closed for a reason. This has been ruled out.

Quoting Cricks from the must read sticky: When repeats of ideas and requests that are just not possible at this time push down from sight ideas that may be workable, we all lose. So the following list contains ideas and requests that, for whatever reason, are temporarily on hold. Threads repeating what is already on the listing will be merged, closed, and/or deleted at moderator discretion, with or without notification, to keep this section clear and tidy for ease of use by our members and SC.

I understand why it was ruled out.. that's why I am suggesting an alternative to what you have put on the pan list. Find the animal and get food without harming them or using weapons. No different then getting bacon from the pigs of fillets from the fish. Could you at least explain why this approach would be unacceptable?

Your presentation is the issue. You use the term "hunt" i.e. the practice of killing or trapping any living organism, or pursuing it with the intent of doing so.

Having a pen of turkeys would be different since they're not roaming free and wouldn't need to be hunted. (who has space for more animal pens?) They'd simply have a sauna treatment.

SC could come up with something if that's their decision but the process of hunting is out.

Ok, so there is a bit of magic, in being able to get bacon from the pigs. It's just impossible to make all ideas a part of the game, and many reasons are mentioned in both the stickys on top of the page.
Almost all, who are replying on posts anywhere in the forum, are just players to. Even the forummods are players as we are, they just maybe have a bit more info, than the rest of us have, but I have no way of knowing for sure.

So let's not call it hunting. Let's call it hide and seek or something. Or then maybe offer up new animals such as steer or turkeys to the game that we can give a "spa" treatment that ends in them being happy and us with steaks turkey breasts.

We'll have to wait and see.

Sounds like a good animal for the town to gave a "spa treatment" to. Also, we have a lot of room in the town for pins etc. Besides I am sure players like me have done max out the town and they really not reason to go back.
