    How does a method being traditional make it more ethical? Aren’t more ethical methods of hunting about minimising agony of an animal when killed using all available technology? So a firearm shot would be more ethical than slow-to-kill arrow?

      I consider your argument the more ethical one. If an animal is going to die, isn’t the most humane method the most ethical? However, I also see the other side, which is giving the animal the chance to kill the human first. It’s kinda twisted logic. If you’re going that route then the most humane method would be not kill them at all.
