I have no issue whatsoever hunting, if you eat what you kill. To kill simply for the sake of the thrill of the kill, you are a JACKASS.

    Whether the animal was harvested for the village does not impact the jackass status of this man or any trophy hunter that does this.

    The jackass status is firmly acquired by the desire to kill simply for thrill/bragging rights of the kill. The hunter isn't eating the meat. If the locals killed it to eat, I would have no issue whatsoever with it. He did it for the trophy, and that's fundamentally wrong.

    A) How do you know he wasn't eaten? Usually trophy hunts are donated to the village people (not the singing group) to eat and the Hunter gets the head, hide etc. Trophy hunters pay LOTS of money for these hunts and it helps the economy in those areas... where people live in huts and don't have enough to eat.
    B) I think there is more to this story. It seems like this article was written by an anti hunter who doesn't understand big game hunting, it's rules, or the culture.
    C) And you assumed the meat was wasted. Why? :(
