I relate to the idea of hunting even though I've never done it. It seems like there is something primal about stalking and hunting prey that is so far removed from the kind of existence I've known that I look at it with this weird sort of nostalgia for something I never even experienced.

Yeah same. I will never go hunting cause I don't want to kill a deer or a rabbit, I want to be friends with them, but the moral logic of being against hunting should also require terrorism against the meat industry so my stance is like a moral standoff where nobody gets to have high ground.
There can still be morally stupid justifications for hunting, but the environmental catastrophe of the destruction of predator animals makes it super easy to justify your love of hunting by just saying yes I like hunting but culling populations of non-predator animals by human hunters is a necessity and if you're not self-aware enough to even say that then yeah you're open to accusations of being a ****head.
