Is eating hunted meat ethical?

RE: Is eating hunted meat ethical?
Tomatoes don't feel pain. As I say there is no reason I can see not to help others even when not to your benefit. Even if we are all psychopaths at heart there is still the whole "I wouldn't want to be e.g. murdered so don't murder me".

Why are my ethics fantasized as you say?

And clearly, you know very little about survival of the fittest.

Color me surprised.

Why does survival of the fittest have to apply to human morality? We're better than that surely? Most of us have an inbuilt sense of morality I thought.

I don't eat meat for the same reason I donate money to Save The Children: I want to help starving people. People who will likely never help me back.

Never have I taken a piece of meat out of a starving person's mouth.

And your shit comment about helping people who will likely never help you back says an awful lot about you.

Yes by being a meat eater you're literally contributing to the starving population. If we were all vegan there wouldn't be any starving people so the argument goes. There is some evidence to suggest this from what I understand.

Why are you not surprised I'm bipolar? What has that got to do with being vegan?

If humans were all vegan, from the getgo, there would be no humans.

True but we've evolved past the need for eating meat. At one time we had no choice now we do. You can be just as healthy on vegan diet from what I understand.

Survival of the fittest has little to do with the biggest, badest, strongest. It more to do with the most adaptable.

Well, as they say, survival of the fit enough. You don't have to be the strongest.

It doesn't surprise me you have excuses.  

As for helping people who can't help you - that's what charity is.  You aren't special in that regard.
