Whatever that means. You apparently have a very elementary understanding of these things. Again lots of people out there promoting doing away with the meat industry. It's just not practical and it's a terrible idea. The vast majority of the population needs meat to be healthy. Sure, you can get protein other ways but it's complicated and usually expensive and impractical for most, which is probably one of reasons that 90 some percent of people who go vegan last less than a year.
There's stuff we can do to improve farming practices but that's a long story. If you really want to know, this is a pretty good site to start to learn:
Sacred Cow

Personally I kill a lot of what I eat directly from the woods. So my eating steaks has no negative impact unless you're afraid of deer farts too.

Well, even that is maybe too simple.

Sorry but your source is guilty of a rather classic failure. The interpretation of Exodus 21 22-25 is not accurate. Before the pro-life movement it was translated as a fine if the woman lost her fetus. The death penalty only applied if the woman got killed, not the fetus. You have to question a source that finds it necessary to reinterpret its holy book to justify their position. Also it does not even mention the fact that priests in the Old Testament could administer a chemical abortion, against the mother's consent. So it changed one clear verse that supported evolution and ignores a clear case of abortion in the Old Testament.
Nowhere does scripture advocate abortion. You just choose to interpret it that way.

That even that you live of the land as per hunting might not be the end of that.
I once had a debate with a Right and we ended up agree that you to us would have a limited right to hunt deer in some cases, but only limited.
The end of what?
Of course there's hunting regulations. You can't kill deer by the hundreds. But you certainly can kill enough to eat without hurting the population in places where the predators are properly managed. Which is also why we need to kill more wolves and coyotes in many cases. Anyway, we have an excellent deer population where I am. Going out back and taking a few deer has no negative impact on our environment.

Oh no, you are a statist and believe in collective regulations. I knew it, you are a Left. ;)

The easier they are to come by, the more likely a criminal is to have one, and more guns always results in more gun crime. Use all the rhetoric you want, but the facts don't support your argument.

List of countries by firearm-related death rate - Wikipedia

The US is at the bottom there see? The red line is the rate of gun related homicides annually and the blue line is gun related suicides annually. Those stats are from 2010...

And places like Chicago with strong gun regulation but high gun crime border places with less regulation.
