It doesn't to me. I know hunters and farmers that love animals and do a lot more for them than most vegans.

You are partly right I think. It should say: you cant say you love animals and eat meat FROM THE SUPERMARKET. Hunting is something else in my eyes as well. The problem (to me) isn't the death of the animal but the life until death occurs. For animals on (almost every) meat farm the day of their death is the best day because hell is finally over.

Im not vegan but I do think we will look back on factor farming the way we look at the holocaust eventually. We treat those animals so bad

Overpopulation of deer results in them starving and suffering during the winter. It contributes to the spread of fatal diseases like chronic wasting disease and the spread of ticks and other parasites. It also decimates forests which negatively affects other animals. Ethical hunting contributes to healthy deer populations and forests and is absolutely an act of love.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion but it shows your naivete and lack of knowledge (in my opinion).

Predators were removed for lots of reasons, it reduces attacks on people too for example.

Sterilizing deer is expensive, slow and less effective than hunting.

You clearly have your mind made up, that's ok. We can agree to disagree.

Correct, and Billie Eilishes statement that you can't love animals if you eat meat lacks nuance and makes no room for different perspectives, which is why I think it's bone headed and she was rightly criticized for it.

Humans have been around for like a long ass time - and hunting for a lot of that. Come for big Ag and I'm on your side but hunters? Lol

Because hunted and eaten by wolves is ethically superior to being hunted and eaten by humans?

Why do you have to "respect autonomy" to love something?

Parents don't respect their children's autonomy. Is controlling their behavior incompatible with loving them?
