    Same, my dad is a hunter and I believe the person above is confusing trophy hunters with just hunters. While my dad hunts, I don’t believe I could do the same. It’s just not in me, but I have all due respect for them. Many revere nature, love animals, and hunting is an ancestral activity that pre-dates history.

    Some hunters are dicks. But that doesn’t mean hunting predators is a dick move. You can hunt bears responsibly, using the meat and the rest.

    It’s really weird to think that predator meat is somehow different from prey meat. Food all boils down to chemistry and it all ends up the same after digestion. The only difference is the microbes involved in the process, but those don’t carry on into the meat. Only prions and parasites pass into the meat, and that happens basically no matter where you are on the food chain.
