The point has already been made several times, but you seem to keep
side-stepping it, Carl.  So, let me put this as clearly and bluntly
as I can.

I refuse to ignore the motivation involved in hunting and just look
at the effects.  Sorry, that's not the way it works.

I consider anyone who *enjoys* hunting and killing animals emotionally
disturbed.  It makes no difference to me what they do with the animal
after they've killed it.

By the way, I'm not very happy about the way livestock is raised in
this country, and I do happen to be a vegetarian.  However, I don't
look down on meat eaters the way I look down on hunters because the
*motivations* involved are completely different.
