Anyone who would be impressed by such a trophy is as soulless and ignorant as the hunter who killed the endangered animal.
I have to agree with you. I know guys who have made trophy kills on game farms. These guys proudly mounted the heads etc. To me that's like mounting that trophy trout that you caught at the hatchery. Yes it is huge, but it's still a farm animal. No instinct and damned sure not much of a challenge.
Endangered animals. I am positive that some azzhole would be proud if they killed the last remaining Rhino, or Siberian Tiger or whatever.

The worst part is once they remove the part of the animal killed they leave the rest of it to rot.

People use to be killed for their gold fillings. Lowlife morticians use to pull teeth from corpses for the very reason.

Hunting humans makes more sense. Very few people would care if Steamgrate Joe went missing.
I'm sure a percentage of game wardens are corrupt, but the majority are not and in the end more animals benefit from the trophy hunt system to pay for wild life preserves than if the system were not in place.

Not to mention the many jobs and food the system provides.

Of course liberals aren't very hard to hunt. They are trained to "huddle" when threatened in a group setting, and if you catch one alone, they run in circles and scream and shout!
Murdering humans = a sociopathic right-winger's wet dream. Since that isn't legal, shooting vulnerable and endangered species is the next best thing.

I really don't understand trophy hunting these amazing animals.
The gun culture is not easy to understand by normal folks.

I took a caped buffalo with my .50 Sharps.

Guide thought I was nuts.

I don't care what you call it. It sustains endangered species. Your hatred of guns blinds you.

So what? I can't understand why anyone could derive even a slight shred of joy listening to rap music or watching soccer. But I don't get my panties in a wad over what other people like to do.
