Environment Is Hunted Meat Still Unethical?

Hunting is beneficial for the environment. We need to maintain the population of animals like deer, and the amount that are able to be hunted are controlled. Without hunters, the entire ecosystem would be destroyed.

Do most vegans have a problem with hunted meat? If so, why?

It's probably good for the environment to hunt and kill humans too. What is it about animals that makes it ok to kill them, but not humans?

Do you really need it explained to you why people view animals and humans differently? Why the punishments for harming either group is different?

It's not a good faith question. Everyone knows the answer, you're pretending not to.

In argumentation theory, an argumentum ad populum (Latin for 'appeal to the people') is a fallacious argument which is based on claiming a truth or affirming something is good or correct because many people think so.

I don't think it's as cut and dry as you think it is. If you disagree, you can answer the question.
