I've killed a lot of vermin over the years and no part of me feels bad about that. Not now, not ever.

Almost all my other kills are meat kills. I venerate the animal I've killed by preparing and eating it.

That said, about 30 years ago I got tired of killing stuff, and quit hunting. I soldiered on with fishing for a few years by being all catch and release. Then I had a physical problem that took fishing out of the game.

I still identify as a hunter and fisherman.
