28. Pro-hunting. It's far more humane than slaughterhouses, poultry processing, etc.

There are even better ways to get protein, we don't have to eat animals, but if we do then hunting is the better way to do it.

For us and for the animals.

I highly recommend the BBC show "Blood, Sweat, and Takeaways" if you can find copies, streaming, Netflix, whatever.
