It really falls down to personal tastes or personalities really.I think the answer to the question you proposed would be the same for a question that you could make to a hooker for example.In my opinion, being a hooker, either man or woman, is shameful and denegrating to say the very least, but it dosent mean that the person itself is bad.It just means that, outside of the possibility that she/he does that by necessity, he/she prefers that line of work, or simply put, gives much more money than the alternatives.In that scenario, would you judge the person because of his job too?

If a hooker enjoys their line of work, they enjoy giving and recieving pleasure. If a hunter enjoys their line of work, they enjoy murdering animals from a distance with a rifle. The latter category more comfortably fits in my "bad person" definition without more context.

Huh, didnt know that.But the article dosent state anything about illegal hunting, so I guess where he hunts is not illegal?

It's legal to stone women to death for "allowing" themselves to be raped in some societies. Doesn't mean I'm ok with any law passed by a current government.

Semi-related, saw this on my feed today:

What an accomplishment.

As to the first point:Its not that simple. I may be talking shit now, since I never hunted nor do I know any hunters, but enjoying a hunt and having total disregard for life is two very different things.And I mean, assuming the hunt is legal and it is moderated(as in hunters dont hunt enough to endanger a species in any way), how much different is that picture if instead of humans, it were lions or any other animals?We are, in the end, also animals.The big problem here is perception.You and I have different ideas of what wrong and right is.And taking off the obviously wrong things, what I can consider wrong you can consider normal, and vice versa.Personally I see prostitution as being worse than hunting for example(legal and hunting only animals in abudance, of course).It goes from person to person.

As for the second point, yeah didnt know that elephants were so low on population.So I dont quite agree with that hunt.But my vision for hunters in general stays the same.
