I agree with this although from a purist vegetarian standpoint I accept that I'm an absolute hypocrite because I still eat fish.

As harsh and silly as it sounds to a lot of members I'm sure there really is a degree of hypocrisy involved in being a meat eater who is opposed to animal hunting. Of course animal hunting for fun is far worse but ... well ... Nedusa is right. You absolutely do not have to eat meat to sustain a healthy human life.

Pleasure from hunting, pleasure from taste.
