is it a contradiction to say "even though I am a hunter, I am not heartless when it comes to animals."

even if it causes less pain to the animal, you are still killing some dears, father/mother/brother/sister for your fun

I understand you are trying to justify your activities by saying you are less bad than other people who kill animals, which I suppose is ok but it's still an unnecessary act imo.

my 2 cents on it anyway
