The reason why killing an animal for sport is different from killing a
gentile for sport (wink wink) is because there is so much potential in a mortal gentile life that it is morally incorrect and not productive to waste and eliminate that potential for temporary personal gratification.
Animals...don't really have much potential. They live and die and reincarnate and...never really do anything with their lives. It's that potential that gives a Gentile life more worth than an animal's life, trying to put them both on the same level is retarded
. A dog doesn't have the potential to be able to overthrow and destroy a deadly parasite that could destroy all life on earth.
I personally dislike killing things. Even when a fly is pissing me off I feel a degree of remorse after I kill it. My opinion is that killing for sport is perfectly natural among animals. My counter argument for people killing for sport is that yeah, it's natural among animals, but you're not an animal so why do you behave like one?
I often hear people saying that because animals do certain things in a natural setting, it's an excuse for them to do it as well. So we should also start killing children of other males and roll around in our own shit too?
What is natural for animals to do is radically different from what is natural for gentiles to do. Ultimately though, I just think it's not a big deal. I think it's dumb and somewhat cruel yes, but I also don't really care to be honest. It's just some dumb animal. Chances are it would be dead next week due to natural causes anyway lol.
Hunting endangered species is a whole different story. The destruction of an entire species is not only sad, but can have dire consequences for the ecosystem that species belongs to. And it can snowball into some serious problems in the grand scheme of things.
