It's too easy for suburban meat eaters to be hypocrites.
But most of us draw the line at appalling trophy hunting...

I grew up in a working class semi rural community where pond and river fishing
was a key aspect of male culture.
We were banned from removing and eating any catch apart from eels
[cant remember if even that was really legal...???]
.. and we were brought up to try our best not to injure the fish,
[yeah.. apart from the hook in the mouth.. I know... I stopped fishing over 40 years ago...]
returning them alive to the water to grow and thrive...

my uncle hunted with dogs, ferrets, and shotgun for rabbits and fowl for the table...

This is surely fair enough and reasonable for the UK.
