Operative word being predator. People eat meat and most can’t stand the sight of animals being slaughtered in the method they currently are.

Predators also put themselves at risk often, fail often, etc.

Factory livestock is very much removed from this.

I think the 'is meat ethical' conversation is a different conversation from 'is the meat industry ethical'. I'd like to think that even if every slaughterhouse in the land closed up shop people would still be nuanced enough to realise that hunting and fishing are in a different league altogether.

You have to keep in mind that having easy access to meat without hunting is a recent thing relative to history.
