Hunting is needed for wildlife management. We've killed most of the natural predators for the animals we have hunting seasons for so we need to fill that niche or those animals won't have enough food to go around during winter. I can't speak for the animals, but I would prefer being shot to death rather than starving to death. There's also the factor of more deer (and other prey animals) crossing roads being more dangerous for everyone involved.
Agreed, at least for some species like deer. I can't think of too many others, though, especially with global warming. Most of the animals that thrive despite human encroachment, like coyotes, crows, and raccoons aren't animals that we hunt.
