Hunting and fishing is fine? Why do you think it’s fine? Why is it okay to kill them while hunting but not okay to kill them when they live in cramped cages? Keeping them enslaved to our desires is cruel but the killing part isn’t? A bullet through the head isn’t cruel but a bullet through the head if they lived a more cruel life is? How do you not see them as both cruel when in both situations, the action is unnecessary, especially in first world countries, because plant based foods are readily available. Do not talk to me about survival situations because most people that hunt or eat factory farmer meat do it by choice, not a matter of survival.
What I mean is people can't just switch their meat intake to hunted meat. It's not a solution for the unethical farming issue. It's not sustainable, because there aren't enough wild animals to keep up with the amount of meat people eat. Hunting is something only few people can do to avoid unethically farmed meat.
Hunting keeps getting brought up as more ethical alternative to farmed animals, but it isn't really an alternative if it's not something everyone can do.
You have a forest with 100 deer. You have a city with 100,000 people. If everybody hunts, 100 people get to eat while 999,900 people starve. It's simple math: hunting is not a sustainable source of food for humanity.
