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?

I'm a meat eater against hunting but the meat I eat is also free range. Also there is a big disconnect between getting some meat at the store and having to clean and dress a carcass yourself. Modern society removes that part from eating meat so it becomes more acceptable and less traumatizing.

I def look for non meat alternatives though. But I think the body can def tell when something is meat and something is not though. I would eat lab grown meat though. Or at least give it a try.

And sport hunting is def just an excuse to kill something. There is no necessity for sport hunting to even exist. There is no reason it should have ever existed in the first place. It is garbage like that that nearly killed off the buffalo. And did kill off the Dodo.

Tbh there is a big disconnect between modern society and their food in general in that people think that eating eggs are actually baby chickens and milk cows only give milk if pregnant. Eggs 90% of the time are chicken periods and milk cows are induced to give milk and have been bred to continue producing milk all year round with or without pregnancy. So yeah people don't know where their food comes from or how it works. But these tend to be the same people that think cats can be vegans.
