15. There are alternative foods to donate and ways to raise money. I won't be deceptive though...
it's not a financial issue to me. I believe every sentient animal (human or nonhuman) has a right to life and to live free of pain and suffering and that we can violate those rights only when it's necessary for survival. If someone truly is in a situation where there are no options other than killing and eating animals (like those near the north pole), I do not object to their hunting. I don't find any financial arguments compelling when there are other inexpensive options at your local grocery store and you could spend the time spent hunting either working at another job or continuing your education.
