But you thinking red is blue won't make it so.
Torture has an actual definition.
It isn't killed for food. These animals have to be killed to protect the environment. Humans have replaced apex species, and if we don't keep up population control, the deer overpopulate and destroy the whole ecology.
Why should you waste the meat?
And the way they're shot, they will literally be dead before they can even hear the bang of the weapon (bullets travel faster than sound.)
So where exactly is the "torture" in that, and can you not see that taking such an absolute position is absolutely indirectly devaluing the actual animal cruelty going on in industrial farms.
Animals are not food, they have a right to live like anyone else. Hunting is cruel and factory farming is cruel, and all the nonsense of pasture raised animal agriculture is also cruel, and all the carnists mental gymnastics about how one is ok and the other is not is absurd. There's no good reason we should murder animals.
Everything on this planet is food ... including us. Every single thing on this planet eventually is food for something else. It's not cruelty, it's not evil, it's not barbarism, it's not wrong, it is life on planet Earth. Eating food does not have to come with torture. There is a gigantic difference and it is important to make that distinction, otherwise we will rip ourselves and this planet to pieces.
The gigantic difference is you are aware you are hurting animals and could be a better person.
I'm not hurting anything. And I won't be hurting myself by not eating food if it comes down to it. I am part of the Earth and I will participate while I'm here.
Keep lying to yourself or go watch the conditions animals are killed in, your choice.
