From the article:

> When I asked Jody how much of his family’s meat is wild game, he initially said “about half.” Upon reflection, he bumped the number to 70 percent.

Doesn't sound like this is a justification for "culture" or "tradition". Certainly seems a lot more responsible than the average "tradition" of "I got it at the grocery store".

When you hunt for your own food, you are forced to consider the sacrifice of the animal and have to put in the work of preparing for the hunt and cleaning the animal. Things that anyone who's not done this takes for granted when they eat meat.

I'd argue our current culture and tradition of factory farming is way more sadistic than hunting to eat.

False equivalence and other logical fallacies like it lead to all sorts of stupid and abhorrent human behaviors, two of which you just described.

The article describes the literal opposite of "for fun and sport".

Seeing as they're actually eating the frogs in question, it sounds like it's not just for fun and sport.
