Writer's Block: No bloody way

I don't think I'd make an issue about it with a friend, but I think it's pretty disgusting to kill things for fun, and who can't find a way to have fun that doesn't involve killing shit? Really?
It does get better when they at least EAT what they kill, but as you can go get any variety of meat and food substance from the store (And I know that food doesn't always come from animals that were treated well...but I also doubt many hunters only buy free range meat at Whole Foods to respect those cows) that just means they're not wasteful.
I use to have this hippy idea that they bonded and respected the animals they killed, and although their may be a FEW who do....I have yet to meet them. There isn't much skill involved (Perhaps if one was hunting with bow and arrows) and really any bonding (with nature or each other) can be done in about a billion other, non lethal ways.
It's just a brutal things that it absolutely unnecessary no matter how you slice it (And any "over population" is likely an issue because of us being assholes anyway). If someone would like to speak up who is a hunter who does buy free range food when they're not hunting and does use it as an opportunity to commune with nature and thank Earth/God/The animals for giving us their life for ours (And I don't mean cast a thought that way, but that's why you hunt, not to go out with your buddies and have some fun), then I think you're pretty awesome.And I'm willing to bet those are not the kind of hunters who are loud about being hunters and that may be why I don't know of any of them But I have yet to meet any hunters like that. Killing for fun is...not cool.
Unless they're zombies.
