I respect your stance but your opinion is moot until you are a vegetarian...It always comes down to this for any hunter to say to someone like me. If that helps you sleep at night thats cool lol. I already made my stance and how I feel about eating meat in general. I do it because of what I do but when that is over so is me eating meat.
We hunt to keep the numbers of game animals in order.
We are doing what is natural by hunting and eating them, just like they do what's natural to them when a guy gets mauled out in the bush( I wouldn't go deep into the bush alone myself).
The one thing that I don't agree with is trophy hunting when the animal isn't a threat or a pest.
You realize the animals you are eating for the most part live misrable lives, while game animals are doing exactly what they want and need until that very last moment?
