you had to hunt, catch, slaughter, gut, and butcher the animal yourself, as in a cow, pig, chicken or turkey? Do you, as you are right now, have the resources or knowledge to do so? I am not looking for veggie bashing here, I am just curious if you would learn the skills needed if meat was not so readily available?

assume you have to utilize ALL parts of the animal and adequately dispose of whats left

Yes, I would still eat meat. I don't eat red meat (don't like the taste or texture) so that would make it a lot easier. I LOVE seafood (it's the main non-vegetarian food that I eat) so that wouldn't be difficult at all (fishing is fun, and nothing beats fresh fish!). I do like poultry, but I rarely eat processed poultry (boneless skinless unrecognizable grocery crap). I always eat pretty much all the chicken (whether it's from a rotisserie chicken or as part of a big pot of bone-in chicken curry or rice)

If I had to do that, I'd only eat fish and seafood because I don't have the heart to kill a rabbit, chicken, turkey, etc. I'd feel too sorry for the animal and wouldn't eat it. I don't have the skills anyway.

I would learn the skills. I probably would not eat it as often. I am married to a meat lover. He would probably make sure the freezer was stocked with these items. I would have to do some research, but I research everything.

hell no I grew up on a farm. my dad would hatch the chickens and turkey eggs in the incubator i would hold the fuzzy little chicks and then when they were old enough the killers would come in and chop their heads off. i can remember the blood running down the driveway and the smell in the air if i had to do it myself and dispose of all of it no way could i ever do that. but it was damn good eating! lol.

Yes, I would. Survival is a great motivator. I know how to fish. I know how to skin a chicken. I have read how to many of the other things in survival books. You never know what is going to happen, even in our society. I feel it is better to be prepared then to die due to squeamishness. Protein is still our best bet when it comes to survival, but I still want and need my vegetables.

Yes.
Hunting and fishing are my favourite past time activities.
Have never butchered a cattle beast or cow myself, but is a deer close enough.

No, I can live without meat so wouldn't learn.

Of course I wouldn't if I had to do all that. I'd probably just eat soyburgers.

I couldn't kill an animal, so I'd have to become vegetarian.
