GW; depends upon the audience. Amongst those I know are comfortable with hunting the term is kill.
When I am chatting with a non-hunter who is uncommitted as to whether they are pro or anti hunting I will purposely use “softer” words as I work them toward a pro hunting stance.
Committed anti hunters I won’t talk to and don’t GAF what they think, they can not be convinced.
The non-hunter can be convinced and moved to a pro hunting perspective with a gentle information conversation. There are a great deal more non-hunters than either hunters or anti-hunters we need to win the non-hunters into supporting hunting and firearms rights.
