I completely agree with you and have struggled with this issue for a long time. I grew up hunting and fishing. Then I was opposed to hunting as I thought it was cruel. But the more I learned about industrialized food production the more I thought that hunting is the more humane way to go. I eat meat and I have to get it somehow. I know a lot of hunters and fishers and they all absolutely have conservationist tendencies and hate it whenever they make a mistake and an animal suffers. I would recommend reading Michael Pollan's book The Omnivore's Dilemma if you are interested in thinking more about such choices.
