Humanity should respect animals.

[Goldenratio]

One of my goals in life to have all the meat me and mine consume to be that which I or mine have personally harvested.
In many areas the prey species have exploded because we have driven out the natural predators. I see hunting as putting me directly back into the food chain.

Many, many aspects of commercial farming, flora or fauna is frankly disgusting.

And yes, a proper hunter doesn't take shots they dont think they can make a clean kill on. Taking a second shot, or even a "coup de grace" shot if it wasn't a clean kill. All the animals I have taken have been used for food, even gave the skins to someone who tanned them herself to make upholstered chairs.
