Ethical hunting practices are an individual issue. The Grendel at 400 yards has a significantly greater energy delivery than any bow does, but bow hunters take thousands of animals ethically every year. Elk, Bison, and hogs are all taken with air guns every year, and they have significantly less energy than the Grendel does, too. Heck, air guns have taken Cape buffalo as well.
Of course, shot placement is critical, but todays bullets, if properly chosen, will drop animals. Properly chosen bullets won't blow up on contact, they will penetrate and do tremendous damage.

You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
