OK, so you believe it's NOT acceptable for someone who has access to a supermarket to kill for consumption.
Now I will draw that parallel I hadn't drawn before.
On one hand we have someone who buys a license, goes out into the woods, kills a deer, has it skinned for gloves and a coat, and has it butchered to fill his family's freezer with venison.
On the other hand we have someone who buys a license, sets up shop as a butcher, kills a cow, has it skinned for various leather products, and butchers it to put beef into the freezers of various families.
What on earth is the difference?

The butcher is just not that rich of a target for that person wishing for an empty exercise in moral vanity.

A butcher kills dispassionately. A hunter kills for fun, regardless of what they say. If it wasn't fun, they wouldn't go through the expense and bother. It was fun for me, when I hunted, and I would never be able to have been a butcher, because to kill without feeling struck me, even then, as coarse.
