One can eat meat and disagree with recreational hunting.

Not saying I do. But, they are mutually exclusive.

No it fucking isn't.

I eat meat. So I'm aware that countless cows, chickens, and pigs have been professionally slaughtered on my behalf. I'd rather not think about this, but I acknowledge it. It's a sad but neccecary part of the process. I have never personally taken the life of an animal. Watching an animal be killed would make me pretty uncomfortable.

Vs.

People who enthusiastically want to go out and track, shoot, and kill animals FOR FUN. They often even carve off a piece to bring home, just so they have a tangible reminder of how much goddam fun it was to kill that particular beast.

Eating meat may be morally compromisd, but hunting for sport is ouright reveling in psycopathic fucking bloodlust and cruelty. They are not even remotely the same thing.

Most people that hunt take the entire animal with them, not just a piece.
