Enter I Kill It

The Premise

Starting May 25th, 2009, I became a vegetarian with one exception: I could eat any animal I had personally killed. The goal was to confront the ethics of eating meat head-on—if I couldn't swing the axe myself, I had no business eating it.

Over the next four years, I documented my journey from vegetarian to fish-killer to chicken-killer to eventually killing a turkey. I never did work up to cows. They're big.
