You must be exhausted after all those huge jumps in logic and reasoning.

From the ethical perspective of anti-meat, hunting animals is so much better. They get to live natural lives, and they die in a similar manner to they do in nature (maybe a little faster, which is good).
From an environmental perspective, hunting keeps pray populations in naturally healthy levels, since most of their predators are driven out of populated areas, because people donāt like to be attacked by wild animals. It also doesnāt consume many resources, as theyāre just living their lives in nature.
I donāt think thereās any valid argument against hunting honestly, besides just being grossed out by it. Thatās fine, and you can just not do it. Iāve never hunted in my life, and I suspect I never will. Itās not really something I want to do. I canāt construct a good argument against it though, and I suspect you canāt either. If you can, give it a shot, and remember animals dying and being eaten is natural, and frequently necessary to maintain an equilibrium that was evolved to be maintained by external factors. Deer, for example, will die horrible deaths of starvation, and do damage to the environment, if they arenāt hunted by humans.

Crazy ape comment aside (iād put it closer to apes with delusions of grandeur but thatās just me), not shooting guns and allowing hunting arenāt mutually exclusive.
Especially given all the hunting that happened pre-gun.
I donāt know if itās on purpose but your answer seems to be ignoring a lot of the realities of how the things you are proposing would work (or not work, as the case may be).

Sure, you can hunt without guns. I donāt really see an argument for not using them though, as long as thereās no lead. Whatās really the ethical or environment argument in favor of only allowing bows, or whatever? I see the emotional appeal, if people have a negative view of guns. Not a logical appeal though, besides maybe making them harder to access to prevent deaths by firearms.
I didnāt make any proposals in my above comment. I donāt know what you mean by saying you donāt see how they would work or not. I gave explanations of why hunting isnāt negative, and is often positive, but not any proposals of how anything should be done. Would you care to elaborate?
