CMV: As a vegan I can still support responsible hunting

My father is a hunter, and he offers us moose meat for free. The meat tastes great, it is locally producted, the suffering of the moose is at the minimun (it got to live a great life in the forest and the kill is as quick as posdible) and all that stuff. 

But the thing is, at least in my country we dont have many big predators left, so the only way to stop mooses from overpopulating out of control is hunting them. The goverment controls the hunting very closely: you need a permit to kill a moose and every kill is counted.

I have asked this question from a couple of vegans, and generally the answer has been "the nature will control it, hunting is bad." Well, this is both true and untrue.

If we would let nature to sort the situation out, then mooses would overpopulate out of control, and they would take over the ecologic place of many other animals. In the process they would also eat huge amounts of different semi-endangered plants from the forest. 

The moose would also run on the roads much more often than now, and that would result in many more car-moose crashes as now. 

I think that it is a necessity to continue the hunting to preserve the biodiversity, and that it would be a waste to not eat the meat as well.

Also, the definition of veganism is that vegan should not support anything that causes animal suffering. In my opinion the quick death of the moose is a smaller problem, than the lack of the biodiversity, as the lack of biodiversity could lead to the starvation of some other animals when moose eat all their food as well.

>I think that it is a necessity to continue the hunting to preserve the biodiversity, and that it would be a waste to not eat the meat as well.

Morally justifying its death doesn't *necessarily* morally justify eating it afterwards. 

You're making a consequentialist moral argument here: if the moose is harming the enviroment it must die, and if it must die whats the additional harm in eating it?

But some vegans approach it from a different perspective. From the viewpoint of a vegan deontologist or virtue ethicist eating the flesh of another being is just gross and bad and not a practice that should be encouraged; period.

So even if you *have* to kill it, that killing should be treated as a "necessary evil". Humans partake in necessary evils all the time (in war, in medicine, abortions etc) but we are "supposed" to approach these events with solemnity and not take any joy from them.

We sometimes have to euthanise dogs and cats, but we don't eat them after.
