(22,308 posts)That is similar to people hunting and eating what they kill even though they can afford to feed themselves without hunting.
My objection is to the actual need to hunt. There should be some basic essentials that a society provides for it's members and IMO not starving to death because you haven't killed something in the last few days it high on the list.
It is very easy to injure yourself out in the wild. When I was living in the mountains of Colorado a neighbor of mine was out hunting and hurt himself badly. He was able to get back to a road )this is before cell phones) and he ended up being OK. If he needed to go back out the next day to hunt for food then he and his family would have been seriously screwed.
Hunting as a necessity is objectionable to me.
