Trophy hunters kill just for the thrill of killing. There is no other purpose. They aren't feeding their families. They aren't defending their community. It's not even for population control. They're just killing for fun. It's offensive and frankly kind of disturbing. I'm glad people are saying it's time to ban the practice.
