Hunting Vs. Meat-Eaters-Against-Hunting

So, I've just finished reading Not a Drop to Drink by Mindy McGinnis, and currently reading A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. Both featuring strong female main characters. Both happen to be hunters. Which reminded me of one big thing that makes me different from many other vegans, and meat-eaters-against-hunting.

I've been a vegan for four years, and I'd prefer a skilled hunter to an 'animal lover' supporting factory farming.

My support comes with one huge exception- I am against inhuman contraptions meant for trapping, such as snares; against anything in which keeps a creature suffering for extended periods of time.
Any and all inhumane procedures like those infuriates me as I am completely against the savagery of putting anyone through a slow, painful death.
It pains me to think of anyone (animals including humans) living in sheer agony.
I am against suffering. Period. But, sometimes, we have to chose between the better of two sad situations.

If a hunter is a great shot, killing creatures quickly, I'd rather their practice than how M-E-A-H finance the industry of factory farming, which is infamous for their torturous procedures and practices.

My husband just informed me that Mark Zuckerberg only wanted to eat what he killed. I looked it up, and here's a quote I agree with wholeheartedly-

"I started thinking about this last year when I had a pig roast at my house. A bunch of people told me that even though they loved eating pork, they really didn’t want to think about the fact that the pig used to be alive. That just seemed irresponsible to me. I don’t have an issue with anything people choose to eat, but I do think they should take responsibility and be thankful for what they eat rather than trying to ignore where it came from." - Mark Zuckerberg

Earthlings has a lot of footage of such happenings, and is the movie which turned me vegan

Some people are still ignorant to factory farming practices, and they carry no fault. To be real though, the majority have been enlightened, but choose to keep themselves locked away in the depths of denial.

Pretending to be unaware of where these animals have come from, and what their levels of torture were, while also being against hunting? Well, that makes no sense.

In a perfect world, we 'animals lovers' would leave animals alone.
In our less perfect world, we can only try our best to do the best we can, because nobody is perfect.
Everyone is on their own path, and just about everyone loves animals.
I just think more people should face the realities of who and what they support. Financially and socially.
