Times-Union newspaper (of Jacksonville, FL) asked for my opinion about trophy hunting; I replied with the following:
Killing of defenseless animals for trophy is called sport, the animal to be killed game, and the person who does the killing is known under the romantic and adventuresome label as hunter. When the society at large begins to judge the event as what it really is, "(deliberate) dry-gulching, of (hapless) victim, by (maniacal) killer," then some of the confusion and undeserved glory might dissipate. As with elephant tusks and rhino horns, any activity involving any animal trophy should be categorically outlawed, as also all trophy hunting, ditto any safari club that allows this.
