I never went hunting but i did shoot a black bird in the alley behind our apt building when I was 14. He was sitting on the power line and I shot him with a bb gun pistol right through the head from about 50 ft away. Never in my life have I had that kinda luck. God wanted that bird dead.
I mean I think people don't treat distinctions between human and animal life the same not because they don't care on a moral level but because they are acculturated to not valuing animal life the same. There's no actual moral argument for it other than just cultural norms.
