>>912945So I've been thinking about getting into hunting for ethical reasons. My parents raised me vegetarian, but I ended up with an eating disorder so I've started to introduce meat into my diet to try and help with recovery.
From what I can tell, letting an animal live a nice life in the wild until it passes, and then using everything I can to honour it's life, seems like the best way to go about eating meat. Especially when compared to cage-raised chickens and whatnot. The problem is that I'm really rather squeamish, and even if I could manage to pull the trigger idk how I would ever be able to proceed from there without throwing up or getting really sad (even though I know it's the best option and that the poor animal died quickly and painlessly).
Is there anything y'all have found to get over this? I know it's in my best interest to eat meat, and I know that the least suffering will befall animals as a result of my actions if I hunt instead of feeding into the whole slaughter business, but I just seem to have an emotional block in place that prevents me from actually going through with the hunting. So instead I just buy from local farms and feel sad
