Well I am against hunting but I eat meat. In this case killing is not killing IMO. As I said, there is a difference between killing for the sake of recreation and killing for food. Hunting, in the sense that you kill an animal because that's you way of life and use it for survival, like some African groups etc, is different to some executive going out with his rifle to bag a trophy and feel like a big man, and different to people killing elephants etc for their ivory and leaving the carcuses behind because they're not useful (i.e. can't give them any money) to them. Farming animals for the purpose of providing food is different again, though I do think that many abetoirs could kill the livestock more humanely.
