It seems hypocritical to me to criticize hunting unless you're a vegetarian. What's your alternative? Some chicken who's been raised in a pen the size of a milk crate with two other chickens and never sees the sky except on its way to the slaughterhouse?

If you didn't hunt and kill the animal it would live longer, granted, but what would be its fate? Get old and injured and die of starvation or be brought down by wolves?
