I assume you're talking about the meat industry, which is definitely not ethical, but let's not pretend killing stuff for food is the same as killing stuff to pass the time
Why not? It's not necessary, right, healthy, or environmentally friendly. What reason is left but pleasure? you eat steak instead of tofu to pass the time more pleasantly, no different from someone whaling or shooting rhinos
I'd recommend not judging others based on merit. I for one have an eating disorder which makes it really difficult for me to eat, let alone enjoy most vegetables or meat alternatives. So yes, meat pretty much is a necessity for me, even if I would like to eat less of it. So does that make me a killer, doing it to enjoy my freetime or make a profit? Or does that mean I'm just trying to live my life without starving?
Yeah, a friend of mine tried to be vegetarian and then found out that she's fructose intolerant.
