Is hunting for sport a sadistic practice?

Pros:
Sport hunting often sees the meat donated to local food pantries to help families in need. Subsistence hunting similarly helps poorer families survive.

A good kill=Animal never even knew what hit it. There's not usually pain involved as the animal dies from ttauma and catastrophic injury before it has time to process what happened.

Hunting helps maintain a balanced ecosystem, especially where most local predators have been extirpated.

Cons:
Some asshole gets mad at the internet that an animal dies.

Feeling a sense of pride after bagging your personal best buck because of the size of its antlers while still also eating all of the meat isn't wrong.

Hunting down a trophy buck just to cut off its head or antlers and leave the rest is sick. But personally I've never met another hunter who does that, or even seen evidence of it in person. All the hunters I know would lose their shit if they saw or heard of someone doing that.

it's one thing to do it for food or survival but when you simply do it for the satisfaction killing brings you it's just fucked up

I'd personally feel bad if I killed a deer or whatever but I don't give a fuck if other people do it. Just not my thing.

It's a sport if the ultimate penalty for failure is the same; i.e. the other side can kill you back. And in the days before modern smokeless firearms, trophy hunting was a legitimate sport for this reason. Now? Not so much.

It's hunting if the animal being taken is also used for sustenance or herd/food conservation; but it's poaching the hunter only pulled the trigger for a trophy, and the rest goes to waste.

Personally, I don't even like catch & release fishing anymore. Anything that causes animals undue pain or injury, doesn't sit right with me. But humans?

Too many humans are bad animals, and should be hunted for sport instead of big game. Bring back gladiators.

feed a cat every day and it will still hunt, it just doesn't eat what it kills. however, at the same time, we are not cats, we are far more civilized and advanced, for example we don't lick our own assholes. however, the only reason for this might be that we cant reach our tongues to our assholes, but if we could, some of us would maybe lick our own assholes. after all, some of us lick other peoples' assholes.

I forgot where I was going with this but hunting is probably fine.
