What are you drinking right now?

the same as going hunting for game.

Are you talking about those people who go hunting, kill an animal, and then don't throw the carcass in the trash/don't send it to be processed for fur, but instead, do what's appropriate, and eat it? I don't see anything strange about that. The fish you catch is not like the herring in the nearest store; it's a completely different taste experience. I suspect the same is true for game. The satisfaction of the hunter's instinct is also important, I agree, but when you consume what you've caught, that's when you get the maximum enjoyment. You need to go through the whole process.
