I hunt on a regular basis. We take 1 or 2 deer each year if we are lucky, along with the occasional goose, turkey or squirrel.
I take clean, killing shots. We butcher the animals together. I can't tell you how much I truly value each and every meal that we get from those animals.
What's more cruel, an animal like a pig that spends it's life suffering on an industrial farm, or the deer that lives it's life in nature and dies from a clean killing shot from my shotgun?
I think every meat eater should, at least once in their lives, see their meal make the journey from living, breathing animal to their plate. It really means something, and I don't think you will appreciate it 'til you experience it.
