I admit that whenever I harvest an animal while hunting, there is a feeling of well, not remorse, but respect for the animal. I hunt ethically because we owe it to them to make a clean, effective kill. This might sound weird, but I am all for hunting, but VERY against animal abuse.
I guess you could say, I would rather hunt a wild animal on his turf. With all the odds against me and favoring him and put that meat on the table. Rather than some lowly, caged heffer that was born and raised on unhealthy shit, just do die an unfair death. Don’t get me wrong, I still love and eat steak. But there is more gratification in eating something that actually had a chance.
