Maybe you should ask Native Americans what they think about the honor and respect they hold for the animals they hunt. Which, you might want to consider, they consider a large part of their religious rites. Do you think they'd be offended to be compared to poachers, abusers, and torturers?
Okay, how many hunters in the US do you think are native American and hunting for food and fur, versus white Americans that go hunting primarily for the entertainment?
No, race is completely irrelevant. Ethics are all that matters. The point I was making with Native Americans was to remind you of a case where most people accept that hunting can be ethical. It was not to suggest that one race can do this but another can't. You cannot separate enjoyment from hunting. It's a natural feeling that developed over millions of years. If you do not enjoy hunting, you will not hunt. We don't write laws to dictate how people feel. We we do it to regulate how people behave.
Instead of trying to trap me with another question, you might consider thinking about the questions I asked you.
Most of them hunt for all three. It would be rare to see someone not eat the animal or keep the hide. A deer has a lot of meat on it.
