Um... This may seem odd, but are elves vegetarian? It just seems to me that they would be...

I believe they're carnivorous bambi-killers just like the lesser folk, but then I'm hardly the Elf authority.
Pretty sure in LOTRs Tolkien doesn't specify one way or t'other; in the feast in Rivendell before the Council of Elrond the food isn't even described specifically.

And, btw, Sarbrook, why don't you drop a topic into the Newbie forum and introduce yourself?

There are plenty of elf hunters out there, but I don't think they used paint ball guns to mark their preys (now there is a bunny hehehe)  Amrod & Amras, Celegorm: known expert hunters. Maedhros & Maglor went ahunting with their cousins....
Here's a lovely citation from The Hobbit:
"The smell of the roast meats was so enchanting that, without waiting to consult one another, every one of them got up and scrambled forwards into the ring [of elves] with the one idea of begging for some food." Flies and spiders, The Hobbit
Looks like meat is on the menu for elves.
