I disagree with this.
because they are like us they have to live and why do we kill them in a horrible way like pulling a head of a bird. or killing a bull in spain. what if we were animals. would we want the human to do this to us.
we can eat them yeah by mercy killing as it is done in Islam.
but why do we need to torture them.
I believe that no one would like some to do that to him.
So if you something to happen to you, you should not want it happen to someone else.
However there is some sports that you can use animals like horse riding or camel riding.
Also there is maybe no problem with hunting but you should kill it fast for mercy.
