By the same token, you don’t know but what everything that is reported about him is true, so why defend someone about whom the best that can be said is that he didn’t know what he was doing.[/quote]

I’m not defending him as much as I’m saying don’t condemn him when you likely have an incomplete and/or misleading version of the story.

And I think he’s a douche whom I wouldn’t get along with. But unless you’re a vegetarian I don’t see how you can condemn him if he’s hunting sustainably and not hurting the ecosystem.

He’s adding an extra challenge (and giving the animal a better chance) to enhance his enjoyment at the price of potential extra suffering.

If you eat meat that isn’t free range you’re causing suffering to save money.

If you are a non-free range meat eater I’m not sure you can claim superiority on that count.
