Hunting animals you can and someone will eat is per se unobjectionable.
Killing maneaters is unobjectionable.
Trophy hunting is just killing for the love of killing. Or proving what big balls you have.
And intentionally hunting endangered species is not just killing an individual animal for the sheer deplorable love of killing, it is animal genocide, it is intentionally putting at further risk an already endangered species, not for any defensible reason (killing a polar bear in self-defense, say), but for its own sake.
Donald Trump Jr killed rare endangered sheep in Mongolia with special permit
On a hunting trip to Mongolia earlier this summer the president’s son Donald Trump Jr killed a rare species of endangered sheep.
A permit for the killing was retroactively issued after Trump met with the country’s president, according to new reporting from ProPublica.
Trump was accompanied by security from both the US and Mongolia on the trip, the outlet reported.
The argali sheep, with its large horns, is considered a national treasure there, and permission to kill one is “controlled by an opaque permitting system that experts say is mostly based on money, connections and politics”.
