    I think the hunting part is kind of fun. Going camping, learning the habits of the animals nearby, finding a place to take advantage of those habits, etc.

    It’s the actual killing part I wouldn’t be able to do. But since I do eat meat I can’t fault hunters. In fact, I suspect a lot of hunters who do eat the animal actually have a lot of respect and sadness for the actual kill, and try hard to make it as humane as possible.

      ‘I pretend to feel sad about doing this thing that I spent lots of time, money, and effort to do’ is perhaps even more unhinged than the people who are honest about enjoying killing for fun.

      *I could see it for people who are exclusively hunting CWD deer.

        You’re killing either way. Buying it from a grocery store just insulates you from having to psychologically deal with that. At least with a hunter the animal has a chance. Can’t say the same about livestock.

          I cannot for the life of me figure out how this relates to anything I said.

          How does someone elses unrelated mental gymnastics justify the mental gymnastics of a shoot and cry pervert.
