I've never taken a picture of a wild or farmed animal that I've killed. I keep my memories in my head and most of them are of the exquisite meals that I prepare.
I only kill what is edible and I empathize with every creature that I consume. However, I feel no remorse as nature is cruel and I'm simply doing my best to be a part of it.
I go out of my way to ensure that no unnecessary suffering is imparted on the critter in the process, be it by cutting the throat on a pig, putting an extra round into a deers' head or bonking a fish. Hunting/butchering is but a satellite hobby to my gastronomic propensity.
