I like shooting guns at targets and whatnot... but killing a defenseless animal just because I can, doesn't sound like fun.
Where's the sport; the thrill, in killing a deer from 150 yards away with a high powered rifle? You want sport; you want to feel alive? Go kill a Grizzly with nothing more than a bowie knife.

"defenseless" 😂 Claws, teeth, horns and antlers....those are all for defense.
If you have to ask "Where's the thrill" then hunting obviously isn't for you, I guess you don't like roughing it. It's actually not that easy; they can hear you before you hear them, and they can smell you long before you even catch a whiff. It's not like you can get 20 kills on every outing, quite the opposite.
Speaking of bears, I actually prefer predators, because they're smarter and more elusive than grazing animals. Idaho has some of the best bear hunting in the nation. Just a bowie knife? Hmm.....

simple. most people end up killing a lot of animals, for eating meat, just killing because they might bite or be a nuisance or might creep you out{bugs} or just crush under our feet vbecause we cant be bothered. alternatively, people torture things like frogs an bugs out of sadistic cruelty n stuff.animals and bugs, unlike plants do have higher brains. they are self aware, and have emotions. why is it ok to kill or hurt them? i do not understand. as far as food goes, i myself am not a vegetarian{due to circumstances} but am trying to become one. there is also the fact that many people enjoy hunting and thing of it as SPORT, and at the same time, many meat eaters/hunters etc, will find it very disturbing if sumthing taboo like a dog or cat is killed? rent these double standards?
i do not deny that as biological organisms, we were meant to eat both meat and veggies, but as humans with the ability to think, is it really ok to kill animals just to satisfy our taste buds? or simply because we do not consider them worthy of being on the same level as us? or because we can not be bothered?
what are your views, relegious/personal etc.
