What the difference between callously killing an animal for sport and eating a Big Mac with out giving a thought about where it came from?

In both instances an animal was killed for personal enjoyment.
Most people have no idea how much slaughterhouse animals suffer, that's very true. And yes, the end result of both scenarios is death. But while most meat-eaters live in a sort of denial wonderland in regard to the moral/ethical implications of their dietary choices (i.e. they just try not to think about what happened to their "dinner" before it ended up on their plates), "sport" hunters are just out to kill a living being for the fucking thrill of it. They sometimes like to paint it out to be some kind of "spiritual" experience (ala Ted Nugent--- numb, idiotic cunt that he is), but it really just comes down to the primitive/savage need of certain people to kill something with a weapon. From an overall mind-set perspective there is a WORLD of difference between your average meat-eater and a "sport" hunter. Shit, long before I became a vegan I would have NEVER even entertained the notion of killing an animal for "Sport", and I truly believe that the vast majority of meat-eaters out there feel the same way.
