I don' t know about others, but I' ve always considered ' honor' and ' respect' interchangeable when talking about animals
I can understand that 100%
I believe if I was a deer, I' d rather be shot and killed quickly by a hunter rather than grow old and crippled to the point I' d be easy for a pack of coyotes to catch and start eating on me before I was dead; or get to the point I' m not able to feed and then slowly starve to death. In that way, I do think we' re doing the deer we kill a big favor.
Again I understand what you are saying. But in a way thats like killing someone when they are 35 yrs old because he has health issues and will probably die in a bad way 10 yrs from now. I would choose to live another day.
