Hang on, I'm a bit lost - would you kill an animal to eat it or not?
If he was forced to, he would make the decision then, is what I think he is saying. As he's not forced to, then he doesn't need to worry about it.
As to the whole hunting thing. I can see the thrill in a "proper" hunt. 1 man against an animal, tracking it, finding it, and then killing it. I can see that, but when it's 10 men, on horses and 50 dogs, or 4 men in a 4x4 with shot guns, and the animals are in a known place, then I just don't see the point. I really don't. But (once again) I don't see the difference between killing that animal for kicks, and buying meat, or leather products, or products tested on animals, or watching a bull fight, or watching a horse race, or having a pet, or anything else that ends up with a dead, injured, or "non natural" life.
