Depends on your religion.
Buddhists and some hindus feel that animal has the right to life just like we do and we should not take it away just to fill our stomachs especially when we can just eat veggies and fruits

So, if I shoot an elk and he's in the freezer ready to be eaten, and I decide to have the head mounted and hang it on the wall, eating the elk isn't a sin but hanging his head on the wall is? I'd like that scriptural reference, please.
BTW, Daisy322 is absolutely right. It has been proven time after time. Here in Colorado a bunch of people who know absolutely nothing about wildlife management got an initiative on the ballot several years ago that prohibited hunting bears by baiting. They also cannot be hunted with dogs. The initiative passed and now we have bears wandering across city golf courses, breaking into homes for food, and when they become a nuisance, they're killed by the DOW. These bears don't have enough to eat in their natural environment so to keep from starving they come into areas where they wouldn't normally be found.The animal rights people have effectively managed to do more damage to the bear population that they did good. Not harvesting some of these animals for food and causing them to die as a threat to civilization is the real sin. Remember, if you're on earth, you're part of the reason there needs to be selective harvesting of these animals.

The God Yahweh tells us that killing unclean animals for food is a sin in Leviticus chapter 11 and that killing clean animals for food is not a sin. Leviticus chapter 11 contains the diet the God Yahweh wants all modern humans to follow and not just the Jews.

It will depend on how you kill it . Some animals are forbidden to eat. That is always a proper way to kill edible animals for food is to ask the permission
from the Almight. Muslims believed animals are creation of God, too. They will slaughter the edible animals with the name of Almighty, Allah, and most important of all they will slaughter the animals in such a way for instant death. So as to limit the pain suffered by the animals.

Great question
The bible says
God made the earth and all its animals to serve us, he made us the crown of his creation to rule the earth
on the other hand the bible says clearly to treat all living things with respect and in the garden of eden, adam's and eve's paradise, the animals were vegetarian, the bible says God gave them the seeds and fruits of plants to eat,
so no killing in paradise at all, not even animal versus animal.
Reality is that a lot of people depend on animals for food to survive and very clealry God accepts and allows that.
The question in our saturated civilisations where we have a choice what we eat and where our survival doesn't depend on eating whatever is available - it seems in fact our survival might be depending on NOT to eat so much - is should we respect the animals as God wanted and be vegetarian ?
Personally I think we can eat meat and fish, but it is probably more of a sacrifice and more pleasing to God if we do it not in abandon.
And killing animals for sport is definitely not treating them with respect, as the bible writes.
God Bless you

No it is not a sin, It was the custom of the JEWS not to eat an animal that was consider unclen, But when Christ came, Peter was told to not call anything common & unclean that God had cleaned for food.

May I turn the question around and make a statement? When sin ends, the killing of animals will end. As the prophet said twice: "They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain." Isaiah 11:9, and again in Isaiah 65:25

No.
You can even kill an animal for other reasons, such as pelts and skins.
Wanton waste is a sin.
You must use the animal one way or the other.

Genesis 9:3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.
