I cannot condone killing wildlife unless for food.
That is your free choice. But is does not bequest nobleness or even sanity about your persona. Rather it is quite irrational and naïve. Most enlightened folks kill mice in their kitchen, rats in their garage and rattlesnakes in their back yard.
Some large, cute critters can kill a precious human that was only innocently fishing or picking berries in Alaska. Self defense is a quite strong reason to kill wildlife that one does not intend to eat. Such a list could go on and on but to what avail? It is suggested that you research the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
“I cannot condone killing wildlife unless for food.”
Well, that certainly is nice to know! If I ever see you getting attacked by a mountain lion, I’ll be sure to just re-holster my firearm and watch.
I plan to whack the raccoon family that has been killing my chickens tonight. I will not eat them, and I plan to practice my taxidermy on them to make trophies even of the babies that will serve as bitter warnings for the rest of their loathsome clan. Does that make me a bad person because I'm not going to eat the raccoons?
Seriously, dude, that position is ethically incoherent. You'll need to stop driving your car since you're unlikely to make paprikash out of the squirrel you mash, the wild rats, mice, and moles in your yard are dying because of your love of your lawn, not to mention the garter snake you probably cut in half with the blades. Etc.
