Stress and suffering is an unfortunate and occasional side effect of hunting. The vast majority of animals suffer very little and experience a short period of stress/fear before dying. If it's good enough for an elk then it should be fine for a horse.
Stress and suffering is guaranteed every single time when you take "wild" free roaming animals, trap them, confine them, truck them hundreds of miles and then push them down a chute of wood and steel surrounded by the sounds and clanks and smells of institutional slaughter.
If you find the latter more palatable than the former -- again. So be it. Bu show the public a video of the day in the life of a horse being shot in the field and one going through the other process and make them pick one or the other. Which would they pick?
