lol @ some of the comments here.

If you hunt you better do it for food and not for sport, trophies or fame.
If you hunt you better stay away from animals in danger of extinction.

That said, now to some of the hypocrits here. Who lived the better life before being killed ..

So please about defenseless dead giraffe.

There's more reason not to kill the happy free ones :2 cents:

A different perspective may help:

What if killing "happy" free one there is less sad ones? Especially as the happy free ones die anyways, as do we all. Whether you shoot those or not, those die anyways. Most smaller animals sooner than later, with bigger animals kinda depends about those other predators (other than humans). What about happy free ones predators? Humans control the amount of other predators. Shouldn't there be more happy predators? Like wolves, bears, mountain lions? In US of course (as you keep telling this being so Merican board). What about poor local US "Cecils", what about those? Or do those perhaps enjoy about hunting, etc. and needs to be hunted down? Only kind and happy herbivores should be spared?

Those are farmed to be eaten. We don't kill them for fun.

what kind of monster kills a giraffe for fun?
Oh the humanity...

What if you enjoy eating aka eating is fun (aka killing for fun, right?)? Based on the amount of obese Americans it seems to be a real sport around there.
