I think you would judge me if you thought I was doing something really sick that was hurting people. This isn't just a matter of taste. I don't judge people with different tastes than me. I thoroughly believe in the expression "different strokes for different folks". But in the case of hunting, we're not talking about some harmless hobby.
Just because hunting is legal, that doesn't necessarily make it morally alright. If I told you that I liked to beat up women, would you think it was alright as long as I was never arrested for it. There are actually some sickos out there that will pay women to beat them up. They don't get arrested because the women agree to it. If I was into something sick like that, I'll bet that you would judge me.
I think it is fair game to judge someone who is inflicting cruelty on others. I'm probably not going to judge someone who has some weird, harmless hobby. But I would judge someone who is doing something really mean such as killing an animal for enjoyment.
