I've often thought that these trophy hunters should be made to eat what they shoot - all of it.

There is a huge difference between necessary strict regulated legal  hunting in some areas compared to other areas where the species are almost gone destinct.

 

I'm no fan of trophy hunters myself but they are part of the programe to preserve the animals in the parks.

Sorry, but, with my clearly limited intelligence in your eyes, I am unable to work out how slaughtering animals can in any way be regarded as being conducive to their preservation. According to my simple mind, it would be far better to rectify population imbalances of particular species through capturing and moving certain numbers from areas where they are abundant to areas where they are on the verge of extinction.

i looked at his "trophy pics"..

 

Won't shed a tear for him..

 

No honour in killing an animal with a high-power rifle with scope. If you want a "trophy" get in there with a spear.. after getting close enough.

 

Feel bad for his family, if he has one.

We can agree on trophy hunting is barbaric and should not exists in 2022, but with human invasion in the areas where there is wild life, regulations is unfortunate needed. 
 

They claim there is "compelling evidence" that a ban on so-called trophy hunting will not help protect animals - and in fact will "negatively affect" conservation.

A convenient argument for the countries presently hosting these animals..

 

No different to pressing countries whose territories include bio-significant green areas to conserve them, and if necessary pay compensation arranged internationally.

Much the same thing was being said in the scientific community 20 years ago about the effects of a permanent ban on foxhunting with dogs on fox populations, prior to the subsequent introduction of one in the UK:

The biggest plague with foxes is rabies and scabies, and if not controlled it will escalade. 
 

now healthy foxes do not make a threat to people and their animals, and also do not compete over the same land or resources. 
 

Whatever, this is the model they say they have some kind of succes with, that also benefits the locals, and gives back to the community. Trophe hunters is outcasts, real hunters who contribute to serve and preserve respect.

I remember a few years ago in a debate a pro-hunt woman stated that fox hunting was vital in keeping fox numbers down. A few minutes later after someone had accused the hunt of wholesale slaughter she said that wasn't true and that the hunts only killed a small number a year.  Once someone pointed out that she'd contradicted herself she started to flounder.  There's no excuse for fox hunting.

So it turned out he wasn’t the Apex Predator he believed himself to be.

That headline says it like it is a bad thing.

Live by the sword, die by the sword. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving person IMO.

Good riddance.

He would have wanted it that way.

Well, the article is behind a paywall so I only got to read a bit of it. The argument I have seen in favor of fox hunting is that fox hunters want to preserve the hedgerows where foxes den. Modern farmers don't like them because they occupy land that could otherwise produce crops.

On the other hand there is that saying of Wilde's about foxhunting: "The unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable."
