doing away with factory farms and the way they treat animals. They are not a safe source of food, they destroy our water, land and air. And then to top it all off they do things to animals that is often worse than anything they would experience in the wild.

Where I am from there are lots of farms and we would never think of treating animals the way those places do. 

 I also have no problem with hunting. The argument against it is normally how mean or cruel it is. The PETA types seem to think animals die of old age in a comfortable bed with pain medication so it is easy on them.

"Natural" death for animals is often slow and very painful. Disease, starvation, dehydration, freezing, being eaten(often alive) or some combination of these are much more common for most animals than old age. I think most people would take a bullet over those options.

 I feel that because we can give a farm animal a decent life we are obligated to do so.
