I thought Starchilds perspective was pretty interesting and don't have a serious problem with any of it since he apparently wouldn't try to impose his decision on others.

No...read carefully: "However I realize that legal bans on hunting and
food-killing would be extremely impractical <i>at present</i>."[emphasis added]

The implication being that as soon as it became "practical", sie would be implementing hir own moral values as law. I think that's a very scary thing in a lawmaker. The purpose of law isn't to implement moral values, it's to enable people with *differing* moral values to live together.
