Honestly what is there to condemn in someone who has done something in the past that they now condemn themselves? Not much point in that really, is there. Not a fan of the modern world's tendency to offer no road to redemption - why bother working to better yourself if you're always going to be judged on your worst day, even if it was decades ago? And frankly... I'm very suspicious of ANYONE who says they would happily be judged on their worst day. If you took a snippet of anyone's life on that day and showed a video of it ... I reckon everyone looks like an absolute monster.

So yeah it doesn't matter that much if they've both engaged with hunting for sport in the past - if they regret it and don't take part now, that's all that matters. In fact, someone who used to do something turning round and condemning it actually means more than a layperson doing it, in my opinion.

People like to look at self-reflection and positive change and call it "hypocrisy", which is obviously nonsense. It's only hypocrisy to condemn something that you STILL engage with (or benefit from) or if you don't acknowledge your past deeds.
