I agree with you Zane.

I don't trophy hunt, and have no desire to, but will throw food for thought in. If a piece of property or wild area is managed for game and hunting, the game population is managed to keep a healthy population of animals. To do this, without natural predators, a certain number of animals need to be killed each year. If a person, who essentially is acting as a predator, kills an animal and removes it from the ecosystem, whether they hang it on a wall, or eat it makes no difference other than emotional feeling. The animal is dead either way, it's removal was planned and figured into it's ecological effect. How we as people feel about it comes down to emotion. Does consuming the animal make it right? We don't need to eat it, food is plentiful in our society. Wouldn't leaving it to the wild be ecologically better? It would feed scavengers and bugs. If a person pays all the associated monies that go with hunting, funds that help the economy, and in this country go largely to conservation. If they follow the rules to ensure safety and humane practices, and the final outcome , like hunting is in this country, results in overall benefit to the species, the eating of the animal is a mute point. That said, if your not going to eat the game, donate it to the hungry. We have a good program that does that in Maryland.
Don't get me wrong, I see the ugliness in killing just for pleasure. I just see things from different perspectives and thought I would throw that in for us all to go "WTH is Zane saying now?"

While I am not into hunting, I know people who are, and they make sure that the animal does not suffer. That would be my main concern.
