What Sammitch meant was that you need to eat to live, but you don't need to murder to live. Hence, difficult to die from a lack of sport. Hunting being dangerous never came into it.

In both instances an animal was killed for personal enjoyment.
Who eats solely for personal enjoyment?

Human beings need to eat to live. An animal dying so that people can survive and the life cycle continue is one thing. It's the way nature's worked since just about the beginning of everything. Nobody takes pleasure in the killing of the animal, but it's necessary.

An animal dying out of nothing more than sport is an entirely different thing. If marksmanship is your sport, then head down to a shooting range, or find yourself some tin cans.
