I find this whole thing sickening. Whether your a man or a woman hunting for trophies is wrong. I have never understood the thought process of "Oooooooh, look at that beautiful, majestic, lion, I simply must stalk it, kill it, skin it, and put it's head on my wall!!" Kind of sounds like something serial killers do, doesn't it? Interesting too that it seems like this kind of behavior is mostly done by the so called upper crust of society, who seem to feel that money entitles them to anything they want. If it's illegal, so what? I'm privileged I'll just buy my way around the rules, taking advantage of people who really need money. Disgusting, vile, behavior. At times like these I can't help wondering what Steve Irwin would say if he were here. The day he died was definitely a sad day for the entire animal kingdom (animals truly lost their greatest champion) it seems to me that ever since he died, the bourgeoisie that control the media have been doing everything in their power so desensitize the public to the killing, hunting of animals. I can't even watch Animal Planet anymore, all the shows are about hunting or killing. What happened to conservation?

Trophy hunting is an abomination, it needs to stop

It is unfortunate that many animal lovers leave out the important fact that a species existence depends on balance in nature. Too many predators and the herbivores decline, too few predators and the herbivores flourish. When the herbivores flourish the plant life suffers. We have encroached so far into their territory that we now have to play a part in keeping the natural balance that nature used to provided. Like it or not.

I am a favorite of wildlife sanctuaries and zoos. Most of all to live out their lives free to roam the land and be observed. If you wish to hunt and collect trophys use a Camera. To watch all big game animals in their natural habitat is a great privilege. If I were his jury I would do him as he did the lion.

Leave the animals alone. Do target shooting only.
