People who still eat meat but are against hunting, why?

Just wondering what your reason would be for being against hunting if you still eat meat. I get why vegetarians would be against it but not meat eaters. Isn’t that more ethical to hunt for your food because you’re not eating meat from an animal that’s been kept in a cage it’s whole life and has much better living conditions? If you can break the cycle of relying on the meat industry and help keep deer population in check isn’t that better?

With all the meat that’s already in butcher shops and supermarkets, wouldn’t it be wasteful not to eat that first ?

Hunting to eat or cull populations that are a problem is one thing. Just killing to collect trophies is something that bothers me because it’s strictly about human vanity.

@bijouxbroussard Agree. And hunters looking for trophies often pick off the strongest and best in the herd which is against nature. Hunters for food often pick off the weakest.
