Evidently you have also.
I didn't enjoy it. Did you?
Do you know how calves and lambs are treated when they are prepared for slaughter? Think about it.
I turned away from the dark side and embraced my humanity, and I decided not to continue eating animals and subjecting them, even by proxy, to fear, suffering, pain, and death.
Perhaps if you turned away from the dark side and embraced your humanity, you would cease to devour the flesh of helpless animals and cease to enjoy subjecting them to fear, pain, and death.
Of course, you can do whatever you want. If you enjoy subjecting animals to pain, torture, and death, if you enjoy catching them and witnessing their suffering, you will do that. Obviously, it's your decision to make.
“I know meat, fowl, and seafood well. I know them all. I know what wines go well with them. I have hunted. I have killed animals. I have watched them suffer and die. I have witnessed their pain and fear.

I don’t think you’ve understood what you’ve seen, assuming you’ve been out in the wild as you say. Most animals die a brutish, nasty death one way or the other. A clean kill with a bullet or arrow beats starvation, being eaten alive, freezing to death, dying in a dominance match, a fatal disease of some kind, or the countless other ways animals die in the natural world. Most end up eaten one way or the other.
I agree about domesticated animals, in a perfect world all prey would be wild. More humane for the animals, more fun for the humans. Win/win.
“Men are born soft and supple;
dead, they are stiff and hard.
Plants are born tender and pliant;
dead, they are brittle and dry.”
Ah, this poet has quite a sense of humor. Stiff and hard, eh? ;-)
Sex and death, a winning artistic combination every time.
