305. Sometimes you're called out by people who've seen what actually happens in the field

I work with wildlife and in conservation, spend a lot of time in the field on shared land with hunters, and have seen so much wretched mistreatment of wildlife in the hands of hunters -- not to mention scandalous injury rates in sports like duck hunting -- so my opinion of your sport is a lot more informed than what you suggest here. Not all of us who oppose hunting do so because we are naive to the realities. Some of us have grown to dislike the practice based on intense personal experience. The fact is, even if you yourself enjoy hunting, it's difficult to defend a sport that from the standpoint of civility, compassion and ethical consideration of other life on this planet, results in death and suffering for the sake of one's recreation. Even if the end result is meat, it's a logical fallacy to say that neutralizes any negative actions toward the wild animal. It's an ends-justifies-the-means argument, where the rationalization of acquiring meat allows for all sorts poor treatment of wildlife in between.
