Well Sen, I personally have the same attitude, however I was trying to portray my belief of why hunting is not a bad thing.
It was so weird to all my friends that I didn’t hunt. I grew up in a small farming town so everyone hunted… I have always been an outsider…
one of my ingenious inventions as an insired youth was the “critter crossways”
Basically all roads were sunken inground a little and surrounded by a wall/gate atleast 10 feet high. Then, crossing the roads would be walkways which the animals could cross with, though never really see the road because it was blocked by the huge wall.
That would do it! I was so smart 
I also thought of self-cleaning bathroom stall door handles (since no one washes their hands before using those)
and an inflatable police-car to have on the side of the road to intimidate speeders. To my surprise, they actually tried something similar with a fiberglass policecar but the plan never went into full effect when once, upon checking on it, they saw two guys trying to put the car in the back of their pickup :-\

One is for sport, and one is for survival… Your argument is void unless you know of any tigers that can fire a rifle…
How its achieved is irrelavent. Yes there are other ways for humans to get food but still this is killing an animal that is weaker for food.
So when Native Americans were clubbing rabbits over the head this is in no way similar to how bears catch fish just because they use a weapon?
ahh you clever thing!
We had card-board police cars on the side of the roads here a while ago but they got being stolen so they don’t use 'em anymore!
I realize that humans could survive without this food but I still think the argument is irrelavent (do I keep spelling that wrong?). When a human kills a deer it is usually a one-hit quick kill. At least it should be if the person knows what they are doing. When a tiger kills a gazelle or an antelope they claw them, then grab them by the throat with their jaws until the animal suffocates or their neck snaps. Which do you think is a more humane way to die? Personally I would rather suffer, but I am strange… I am sure that you would rather be shot and have a quick death…

Thats nature, humans have enough intelligence to not kill things, they don’t need them to survive. I don’t eat meat and I’m not dead. Meat is a luxury, one that has a high price. And not in money, if oy uknow what I mean…
Well we’re coming from different view points. I eat meat. I eat a lot of meat. I generally don’t eat anything that didn’t once have a face. And if I’m having a salad, there is usually some chicken thrown in it.

When you say humans you must mean (and specify) “Modern Humans”. Human beings have been around for a long time and for the vast majority of that time, we hunted. That was how humans got food. They hunted wild animals. Today it is just something that people do. I don’t understand why they do it, I don’t really agree with it, but I have no say in the matter, so I choose to accept it. I don’t see it as a terrible thing, but I don’t see it in a good way either. It is just somethng that is and always will be.
Jubba the man in the middle
humans kill each other all the time. I guess that doesnt make us ‘intelligent’.
There are animals out there that kill for pleasure too (dogs, foxes, ferrets…). What should be done with them?
good point, senocular. But how many humans have been killed when they wandered into the path of a Fox’s SUV? not many i presume…
people have died in steer stampedes
and 21 people recently died in a human stampede… i guess no one or nothing is safe…
Humans are not an intelligent race. We are technologically advanced and we are capable of advanced thought. But nothing has really sprung from our minds that I would consider intelligent.
duu-errr… what do you mean?
