Is eating hunted meat ethical?

[Nakara]

I have no issue with hunting for food, so long as you do what you can to drop them in one clean shot, then use every bit of the animal. It's a terrible thing to waste a life.

As far as ethics go with meat eating, I believe we as a society in general eat far too much. To help fuel the meat industry countless animals are raised and killed in horrendous conditions, wallowing in their filth their entire lives and never feeling the warmth of the sun.

I have no issue in raising livestock for meat, so long as the animals are allowed to roam and herd and exhibit natural behaviors, given veterinarian care if needed, fed a natural diet/allowed to forage, sustainable practices are utilized, and overall the animals are treated with kindness and respect. If we cut down on our meat consumption farms like this could easily replace factory farms--better for us, the animals, and the environment.

I believe some meat and animal products are necessary for a healthy human diet. We have meat to thank for our big brains. I have to eat iron-rich meat as I can't absorb plant-based iron very easily. My grandma has this same problem.

And, well, meat is delicious.
