To answer your original question, it's a personal ethic. I personally would not like to shoot/hunt unless they are going to be eaten by me or someone else or there is a pest control aspect or problem animal.However, sport hunting for hunting sake, if such hunting is legal where it is undertaken, helps in animal population control,better management of local flora and fauna, has positive implications for local bio-diversity,benefits local population directly or indirectly, must be encouraged.Look at African hunting scene.Check how many species are protected from extinction, forest land preserved and the local people benefited.A lot of the money comes from sport hunters.
