In that case you would act out of cruelty.

Well I hate to break it to you, but you are not an eskimo, they have nothing else to eat so what can they do. You on the other hand are simply eating innocent animals for your own selfish pleasure.

I live in a city now, but when I was young I lived far from here where a man lives with a green growing jungle. I can tell you yourself never subsisted on the natural environment, and very few people have... but I have subsisted on the jungle and on the sea which makes a man no less compassionate, yet I killed every day.
