Most wild & feral mammals & avians, along with many rodents, do not die by predation; rather, they suffer prolonged and painful deaths from starvation and dehydration. On the other hand, when I take a deer, with a shot to the head, it dies quickly, with little to no suffering.

I made no statement defending the inhumane treatment suffered by many animals at the hands of some. Furthermore, how some are treated, and by whom, is wholly separate from the issue of whether or not they should be eaten.
