They want their children to know that everything they consume came from somewhere and that there is a price to be paid. They may sound like rednecks to some but they are some of the most liberal rednecks that you could ever meet.
They are meateaters and they feel that if their children are going to eat meat they should understand where it comes from. It also saves them quite a bit of money on groceries.
Myself, I don't like to hunt(I've been on hunting parties before). I don't like guns (friend's husband uses both guns and bow, depending on the season). But I can respect him for his views. He doesn't believe in trophy hunting. He says it makes him sick to his stomach to think of someone killing that beautiful creature and not utilizing it to its full extent(and he does refer to deer as beautiful creatures).
