You both make perfect sense and, I can see where you're both coming from
I have read the GL, I've also helped others out when I could see that they may be straying from the guidelines.
I guess I just struggle with the fact that it's ok to buy meat, fish and poultry ready prepared in the supermarket but, someone isn't allowed to say that they've taken a couple of pigeons because they enjoy eating pigeon.
......... I know that, strictly speaking, it's illegal but, it just seems like madness.
