摘要

In mid-autumn, when the air is growing colder and the nights longer, comes The Blood Moon, Also called The Hunter's Moon by indigenous peoples in the Eastern woodlands, this phase of the year marked a time when northern dwellers of many cultures wouldwork to ensure that they had a store of meat to last them through the winter. They did this by hunting wild game or slaughtering farm animals. It was a time of year when blood was shed. The subject of meat eating is one of the most controversial topicsamong people who care about food, ecology, spirituality, human culture, and the lives of animals. Deciding not to eat meat is often either the first or the most profound decision a person makes about their diet in response to political or spiritual convictions.
