Yeah, I'm not sure whether to place wild animals wounding prey and using them to teach their young to hunt as worse it better, but if you are going to eat meat then I don't think there's many more ethical ways to do it than have them live a good life up until seconds before they die, then make killing them as fast as possible.
In a lot of places hunting is good for the environment too, not only because the fees from licences generally goes to wildlife management, but also humans have killed a bunch of their predators and so there'd be even more damage to the ecosystem if you don't introduce another predator to manage numbers (although it would be preferable to not let it get to that stage at all, it's too late in a lot of Europe and I believe other places too)
Hopefully by "a good life" you're referring to wild animals, not power farmed ones?
Because I agree with hunting as deer management is necessary, but factory farming is bullshit and the regulations are just garbage. Animals live in cages where they don't have the room to turn around, much less moving about and socialising. And you know cows don't produce milk unless they've calfed recently, so they just keep inseminating them as fast as possible after a pregnancy.
When my grandma was small and tended cows on a rural farm, the cows lived to like 20. Factory farmed cows just keel over on the factory about after five years.
So idk, if you'd consider being like a child chimney sweep in London 150 years ago to be a good life, then perhaps you can make an argument for factory farming?
I was referring to animals in the wild and on small farms, yes
Good. Just making sure.
