Bud that's part of it. Coming from someone who raises alot of their own food...dont look at it as taking a life, look at it in the sense that it gives you life. This is where balance and conservation come in...I dont think any of us enjoy killing or causing pain. But this is the natural cycle. In my humble and personal opinion, repeatedly bludgeoning an animal would prolly make most people upset..try not to do that next time. Instead thank the animal for the life its lived and will continue to provide.
