In reply to the discussion: Cecil the lion: big game hunting banned in Zimbabwe as outrage grows over animal killing [View all]harun
(11,349 posts)16. Wow, that's a lot of trophies.
Grew up hunting and know a lot of hunters. None of them were trophy hunters, all hunted for food. None of us understood the trophy hunting. Always figured it was for people with way too much money/time on their hands who didn't have anything better to do with it.

Some of it's not even hunting. Just animals kept in cages and released before getting shot.

It's weird, isn't it. Maybe because they have lots of money and can afford to do it. Maybe

Hope they won't back down, and will enforce this ban strictly. It's time to grow up. n/t
