"Emotional" and "Ethical" in my sentence

[Rachel Adams]

Hello.

Are the words "ethical" and "emotional" unnecessary in my sentence? I am not going to use both of them but I think I should remove both and say "It is" or "This is my opinion."

"Hunting is an atrocity. It should be banned everywhere. It is my emotional/ethical opinion."

How about:

In my opinion, hunting is an atrocity.

I think I should remove both

You're right. That phrasing is unnatural.

Forget about "emotional".

Try:
I vehemently disagree with hunting. It is unethical, atrocious, barbaric and should be banned.

"Hunting is an atrocity. It should be banned everywhere. It is my emotional/ethical opinion."

See above. It's not very natural either way, but only "this" works at all.

Emotional opinion isn't natural. We simply say we have feelings: I think hunting is atrocious. That's how I feel.

Ethical opinion is a little better. But it's more straightforward and natural to simply say that hunting is unethical: I think hunting is atrocious and unethical. That's how I feel.

In general, our feelings and opinions aren't ethical or unethical. We have feelings and opinions about whether external things/people/practices are ethical or unethical.
