If the animal is killed for food, then ok but if it's just shot for fun, then it's sort of cruel.

Then you would appose varmint hunting?
Shooting a pest that eats your garden for example. A crow, ground hog etc.

In the animal kingdom the food chain is a part of nature. We are atop of that chain. Our higher brain functions give us an obvious advantage over most animals.
But we are now smart enough to raise bulk food. Keep an animal in confined unnatural conditions, pump them up with antibiotics and steroids to meet OUR needs of an over populated society only then to turn around and question the morality of hunting.

Most hunter's respect for animals is more deeply rooted than most people believe.
