Is eating hunted meat ethical?

[Apathyst]

Curious how you would pick out the ones destined for a miserable death as opposed to the ones who were going to live a happy carefree life to die at a nice ripe old age? Not that I think eating meat is unethical quite to opposite all living things consume other living things to keep being living things themselves. To me it seems the only issue is why you killed an animal. If you kill it for fun and eat the meat in an attempt to justify your actions you have still killed for pleasure the eating doesn’t change that fact. So is killing for pleasure ethical? Whether it’s a horse fly or a horse I don’t see how it could be.
