Actually, there
is a major difference. I've seen healthy animals being euthanized at my shelter first-hand. These animals were euthanized not because the staff enjoyed killing them, but because there was nowhere to put them and no one willing to adopt them. Hunters kill because it's a sport and is fun for them. The meat industry kills animals because they're supplying food and making money from it.
Shelter workers who euthanize animals don't have fun, produce anything, or make any money. They go home, cry, and drink a six-pack because of what they are forced to do. It's
not the same.
