I had this issue with a girlfriend between high school and college. She was a sweetheart (and gorgeous), but the relationship was doomed as soon as she asked me in all seriousness why my state had to legalize a mourning dove season.
I don't even hunt, myself, but I told her that people enjoyed hunting, and that mourning doves were edible just like most small birds that are hunted like quail and grouse.
She asked me, well, why can't those people just eat chicken?
And I said, "The chickens don't commit suicide, you know."
And that was the beginning of the end.
