My mistake, I forgot that paying hitmen absolved you of moral responsibility.
I assume you're talking about the meat industry, which is definitely not ethical, but let's not pretend killing stuff for food is the same as killing stuff to pass the time
I guess it gets somewhat blurred when you don't need to kill stuff to eat, but you do it anyway because you like the taste better. That's arguably some version of killing for fun?
I think it's still different, as killing is an unfortunate means rather than an endgoal. I'd love to eat lab grown meat, that'd satisfy my needs without killing animals. But that wouldn't satisfy a hunter who is killing for fun.
