    I’m going to catch lots of flak for this opinion here, but you’re absolutely right and it’s why I’m ok with deer hunters (NOT TROPHY HUNTERS!).

    Cause a deer meeting its end with a bullet or arrow is so much quicker than getting too old to outrun a bear, coyotes, or mountain lion. Mountain lions especially are known for leaving them alive but paralyzed for their kittens.

    I couldn’t kill bambi’s mom personally but I don’t have a problem with others doing it ethically. But anyone that brags about a whatever number point buck can fuck right off though.

      I don’t eat meat (hunted or otherwise), but I don’t have an issue with responsible hunting.

      I understand “responsible” is a subjective term, but my views on what is/isn’t responsible here are fairly mainstream and generally in line with best practices and legal requirements.

      Vegan activists tend to consider hunting to be a low priority for reasons similar to what you’ve described. It doesn’t add much suffering overall assuming the death is quick. Instead, the focus is on the tremendous suffering involved in the meat industry.

        And much like everything else in this rage bait world, those practical people don’t get enough attention. I’m not vegan, but I don’t get the random hate they get. Just said the other day here that I actually like the “impossible” line of non meat meats. But remember an article here where some dude was on a Jone 'de Arc type crusade to ban non dairy milks from being called milk.

        I just find anger strange I guess.

      I know. Killing within melee range is for savages or primitives.

      Real advanced species kill from afar. Even better, with just the press of a button. We must learn ways to skip the unnecessary steps
