[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 1551411, member: 36999"] The issue as I see it stems from the fact that you are taking the life of another living being for your own personal reasons. For many people the killing of mammals is frowned upon except in limited scenarios such as hunting which is generally seen as having the purpose of getting meat for your own survival. When the focus shifts from the substance (meat) to the inedible portions strictly for a “mine is bigger” type mentality is when people start to have a problem with it. Additionally many people see trophy hunting as simply killing for the sake of killing, I know several people that don’t have a problem with hunting as long as you eat what you kill. Additionally Trophy hunting in a way harkens back to the days of commercial hunting where we wiped out a large portion of the animals in this country. The poster animal for this being the Bison of which upwards of 30 million were killed in the span of a few years solely for the inedible portions of the animal while leaving the rest to rot. For a much more morbid example look at it this way, many people would not have a problem with one person killing another in self defense (survival) but everyone would condemn them for killing someone for their possessions (trophy).
