My grandfather would have disagreed with you. He grew up on a farm and he said he would rather hunt than take an animal who trusted him to slaughter. The wild animal had a chance of evading him, while the barnyard animal came to call.

I probably should have made a distinction between hunting for food and “sport”. The “sport” anology is crap. It isn’t sport to hunt and kill an animal that doesn’t have a chance against a higher intelligent and armed foe. I have no problem with hunting for food as that is the nature of all mammals.
