I grew up/live, in a very hunt/fish area. I hunted quail with my dad when I was younger, but never was good enough to shoot one. I think I only actually fired twice. Was too scared of hitting the people beside me...but anyways. There are so many deer around my county that many of them starve. I've raised sheep for 15 years now, and had the cats, dogs, etc and I can tell you one thing that tears my heart up is watching an animal starve for whatever reason, so I view hunting as a way to keep that from happening. I know a lot of people would argue that it doesn't work because the hunters kill the biggest, healthiest animals...but if they do that, doesn't that still leave more for the others?
I've eaten fish, chicken, pork, beef, lamb, deer, turkey....I have no qualms. The food chain. It's natural.
I view animal cruelty as something done to an animal that is done first and foremost for the pleasure of seeing the animal suffer and it really pisses me off to see it. I just want to beat the shit out of people that do that.
