Is eating hunted meat ethical?

[Tom Fearnley]

I'm trying to be a vegan as I think it's ethical. However animals in the wild, like Richard Dawkins says, suffer horrible deaths whilst in the wild. Hunting them and shooting them killing them quickly then consuming their meat is still therefore ethical maybe? The animal will feel less pain in its lifetime if shot to death than if it died naturally in the wild.

Correct?

I'm not reading 15 pages of this, but I think vegan ethics extend beyond how animals feel.

By purchasing and consuming meat, we are perpetuating the whole system. Our meat consumption is a huge and well-documented culprit of climate change. If you eat vegan, vegetarian, or even less meat overall, you're doing something ethical in reducing your carbon footprint. If that's a main concern for someone, then actually eating only hunted meat is the most ethical way you could do it, since it's the farming methods that contribute to climate change, which hurt all of us.

If your concern is animal welfare, then yeah, I would say it would be most logically consistent to forgo animal products completely, hunted or not. We live in 2019, with advanced technology and a long, long list of non-meat alternatives. The amount of vegetarian and vegan restaurants is at an all-time high. We can live a happy and healthy lifestyle without eating any animal products. But what happens to an animal outside any direct or indirect interaction I have with it is of no consequence. All that matters is your choice and your action.

I'm vegetarian, and I'll be vegan eventually but I'm in no hurry.

I find veganism too difficult personally I've packed it in: Always craving meat, mildly on the depressed side, not sleeping properly at all was up all night last night, hungry almost all the time, stressed. I feel like I've failed at something when I haven't eaten meat. But I will try to eat as many vegan meals as possible.

Plus I've been watching Joe Rogan and veganism isn't necessarily the healthiest diet. Still feel sorry for animals though.

No, you lazy fuck, I will not do your very badly needed research for you. Get off your big fat personality and fucking wiki something.

I challenge you to a You Tube webcam diss war.

The climate change angle is also bunk, sad to say.  Not that this should dissuade a person anymore than the global hunger bit.

So everything about veganism is just BS basically? The best argument would be animals feel pain when executed but as long as it's not Halal we can even question that: Perhaps they don't feel pain.
