Eating bear is actually not as exotic as you might think. I have not eaten it myself, nor do I have a real desire to, but I have heard and read how good the meat is. Bears actually rarely hunt and eat meat other than fish, they eat a lot of vegetation and things like grubs and insects I believe too.

Personally I see nothing wrong with hunting for the purpose of eating (as long as the species is not in danger or protected), and nothing wrong with providing the proper food for pets whatever that may be. When we get a pet, it becomes our responsibility to feed it a balanced and nutritional diet for its species. That is why I strongly disagree with "vegetarian" dog and cat foods, it is (this is my opinion) completely unnatural and has to have a lot of synthetic ingredients and vitamins to make up for what they are losing out on in animal fat and protein. Even people who choose to be vegetarians should take special supplements to artificially add to their body the nutrients they miss out on from meats, or a lot of health problems can arise, especially if they are vegetarian to the extreme of not taking in any egg or dairy products as well. If someone makes a personal choice to be vegetarian because they just don't want to eat meat for whatever personal reasons I have no problem with that. I only have a problem if they start judging me because I choose to eat meat.

Different people and different cultures eat different meats. As horrifying as we might find it that some people eat dogs and cats, there are some cultures just as horrified that we eat beef, their cattle are sacred creatures to them. I think it's best to just respect other cultures and peoples' differences without making judgements while sticking to what you feel is best for yourself personally.

All that said, hunting for pure sport (without using the meat) or hunting only for a trophy is sickening to me, as I am sure it is for any true animal lover.
