Isn’t selling venison against the law?
This isn't a special deal either, this is how the guy makes his living, along with some other farm products.
Grass-finished is really tough economically; corn results in an animal almost 3x the size.
The only grass-finished place I have is struggling no matter how much beef I eat :) I really need other places if it goes away.
If I were to use a huge trawler with a big net to catch hundreds of fish I would call that overfishing. But is that even fishing?
Thwres nuance between artisanal and industrial, and both get caught with the same word
Sustenance hunting yes, but the rules about selling wild meat are to prevent market hunting. There are more humans by weight than any other land animal. If the general population started eating hunted meat, any wild population would be wiped out. So we have careful rules to ensure hunters do not hunt simply to sell the meat.
If the general population started eating hunted meat, vast agricultural areas would be returned to nature, giving a slight offset to that problem.
But jumping back to reality, those people who actually hunt and purchase hunted meat right now are people who care about nature and shepherd it with responsibility. They can safely ignore any hacker that starts yapping about some law written by unnatural people.

I don't think the math works here. There isn't enough agricultural area on the planet to sustainably generate enough hunted Calories for the general population.
1) equivocating hunting with breathing? One is necessary for life, the other is done by less than a quarter of people, and for most of them it’s just a hobby.
2) slavery has also been done probably since humanity began millions of years ago, so that clearly is not sufficient for something shoulding be legal.
There's a lot of people who never drink water, but drinking water is still essential and shouldn't be outlawed.
All the behaviours that we have in common with other mammals are natural and eternal. They can never be legislated away, even though many have tried and they have died. Including kings trying to ban hunting certain game for commoners and having them for themselves.

>> It is more natural because creatures in nature do it.
> "Creatures in nature" also "farm"
Thus "hunting" is not "more natural" than agriculture and domestication of other species.
If you don't find it interesting that non-human life has been performing behaviors humans think unique to themselves, well that's your problem.
We outlaw all sorts of things that can be found in nature.
Please don't assume that everyone here lives in the same city/state/country/continent as you.
