I have clearly explained:

1. that my primary objection - evident in the very title of this thread - is all about hunting for sport...

Sorry Daniel, you can't separate the sport from the sustenance. Hunters don't leave their kill to rot and they don't just take the head and hide.

2. that I do not eat meat which has been inhumanely slaughtered?

Your link stated that the animals loose consciousness in two seconds after there throats are slit. Believe this you do? Bleeding to death? How this is different from a well placed bullet other than the fact the wild animal is allowed to run if able?

Methinks you're just trying to pick a fight.

Perhaps.

Please note that so far, I have in fact been tactful, by not commenting on that. I'm not interested in fighting with you. If my position on hunting for sport offends you personally, I'm sorry but I won't retract or modify it.

Your position does not offend me but I highly disagree with it. I'm not asking you to modify it and there’s the difference.

And I think you’re missing the higher ethical question. It’s not how life is taken but- should a modern “civilized” society need to consume animal products?
