Response to Laura: People That Kill Animals

I do not think it is morally right to “trophy hunt.” The hunters that hunt for the mere reward of saying they were able to shoot down one of these magnificent creatures should not have the right to hold a gun. It is a disgusting practice that should not occur at any place or time. Innocent animals should not die for the recreational purposes of humans.
Hunting should only take place when it is absolutely necessary for the survival of the human or society. In the poor areas of a country where their only income/food comes from hunting, you must give them a certain degree of understanding. Any living creature that is murdered is devastating but it is one of the facts of nature. Sometimes, under certain conditions, we must hunt animals for the survival of our own.
But again, I do not see any moral defense for trophy hunting as valid.

Is there anyone who thinks trophy hunting is morally right?
