Why is this argument still raging on?

I've never hunted. I don't understand the mentality of killing animals for sport, but there is nothing wrong with it, if the hunter is going to eat the meat and cause as little suffering as possible.

There is no humane way to kill animals. Every slab of beef or chicken you've ever eaten came from a slaugherhouse. That slab of beef or chicken lived a horrific life caged up. What difference does it make if a hunter shoots what he eats, and you don't but you get served a piece of beef from a cow that had it's throat slit open and dunked in boiling water while it was alive?

Easton, I gotta respond to your point. There is a difference between being horrified at video of a LIVE human having his head cut off and a DEAD moose having it's intestines removed.

1) One is human, the other is animal (there is a hierarchy of life whether we want to admit it or not. Humans are not the same as other animals in all respects)
2) One is alive having it's head severed, the other is a dead animal that no longer feels pain that's having it's guts removed because it is not edible
3) One is done for political reasons and shock value, the other is for "sport" and to eat the meat.

Anybody who eats meat cannot argue against responsible hunting. Hunting for sheer enjoyment and leaving dead animals all over the place is not right, but hunting to enjoy meat is fine. Have you ever gone fishing? Fishing is just another form of hunting. The fish doesn't enjoy being hooked, taken out of the water where it can't breathe, and then have it's head cut off for the BBQ.

Death is ugly, but eating meat is natural. Function equals form. If we weren't supposed to eat meat, our bodies wouldn't tolerate it the way herbivores are unable to digest meat. It's unfortunate that we must kill to eat meat. Responsible hunting goes beyond just killing the animal. It involves eating it. This is not the same as idiots who would kill animalsand leave the carcasses to rot.
