Read through a thread here with a lot of talk about whether we "harvest" or "kill" animals. I am sure it does not matter a damn to the dead animal, whether he has been harvested or killed. It is curious how and why we choose different words to identify identical events. Let me throw another word choice into the bubbling discussion.
When you kill, or harvest, a deer? Do you process it? Or do you butcher it?
Years ago a cousin raised a champion steer every other year to compete in the county fair. After the blue ribbon it went for meat. Wish I could remember for sure, but I would bet she said it was butchered. Processed not likely in her vocabulary.
There are brutal constants and truths in life. Dressing them in soft words has never been a good idea.
