If I may borrow a quote from a professional hunter and author (feel free to call him a barbarian too, if you like) "Just as one may indeed slaughter an animal from a safe distance, one may also hunt a particular one under a code of rules that is part of the same ethic that forbids passing signals to a partner at cards, shooting sitting ducks, or using bait in fly-only trout streams." Contrary to the seeming belief of the OP, us hunters are not walking out into the forest with a rifle and a beer trying to shoot everything in sight for the sheer hell of it. Hunting is more than killing, and I, personally, enjoy the hunting part more than the killing.
I would include the conservation evidence as well, but others in the thread seem to have that well handled.
I've never enjoyed the killing. I don't think anyone should. Killing in itself is an atrocity that is necessitated by the natural order, the way our world has been put together. We just have to accept the rewards that this order has brought us.

I wouldn't say that I've ever truly enjoyed it, but I'd be lying if I said said I truly dislike it either. It's a weird emotion that I can't really explain, some wack mixture of goofy pride and sadness. It's not really a feeling you can understand without feeling it.

Tell me, name one wolf attack in North America that wasn't due to rabies,hunger or by accident?

Ugh why hunt and kill alligators? Are there any species humans can just leave alone and not destroy their homes too?
I just answered part of the question.
The other is that they are dangerous to people, or did you not hear of the child drowned, killed and partially eaten in Disney World by an alligator?
Seriously, at least know what you're talking about.
