Hunting is normal.

Not hunting, and expecting your supermarket shelves full of great food stuffs is abnormal.

Lastly, taking a rat, rabbit, magpie, deer, wild boar, or even a pigeon are all the same. No difference. If you are the one to do it do it with thought and respect. The vast majority of Hunters give and have that.
With you on all of that, including the bit in the middle that i’ve taken out to help readability.

Everyone should read “meditations on hunting” by Ortega y Gasset. He was a bit of a weird Spanish philosopher dude with some slightly odd views on other things. But he nailed hunting. “One does not hunt in order to kill. One kills in order to have hunted”.

Almost all hunting traditions stress respect for quarry.
