A trophy on the wall? The hunter just killed a sentient being for no reason other than a demand of his testosterone. Don't get me wrong; I'm not an animal rights activist, but I can't find any rational reason to do this. Life is hard enough without pointless killings. Humans do the same to other humans, of course, but that is not a rationale.

I know that I'm ranting, but I can't condone this type of thing. Catch and release may be one way of getting around it, but you can only do this with fish, not big game.

I suppose that, at my age (70), I feel the burdens of mortality and I object to killing.
