I agree with {aspiring_to_clarity}. Most people would be vegetarians if the meat didn't just show up in the supermarket. |

I think it might depend on whether you were raised that way. I live in a rural area and many of my (male) friends go deer hunting each year. My Dad doesn't hunt so that is probably the only reason I never went.
