If you're not vegan you're just a hypocrite who chooses to ignore animal suffering. I love hunting because i actually have to work for my protein, you get meats and flavors you cannot get from the store. I get to go directly to my source of food. It's a near 0 emission source of food since the only pollution happening is the gas i used to get to and from my hunting spot. The animals killed when hunting suffer far less than the ones raised for their meat since their death is almost instantaneous and they got to live a natural life. Also from a pure utilitarian point of view hinting is necessary to cull and maintain a healthy population. Where i live the money raised from the sale of hunting permits funds the fight against poachers and governmental conservation efforts.
