Most sport hunting of big game consists of taking out rogue animals or culling oversized populations. The countries that charge big money for a sport tag are helping to conserve their animal populations and most times the locals get the meat. Africa is lousy with lions. Just like the US is lousy with bears. I don’t want to shoot them because there isn’t much sport in it but I also want the numbers kept under control so somebody has to do it. There is nothing innately evil about it.
If you don’t enjoy it fine. Don’t do it. I totally disagree with you that it makes people calloused towards all life. That’s just some feel good snowflake BS. You sound like a millennial.
You may be able to read but you sure lack comprehension.
Maybe after not taking it so personally, actually go back over it and read without your bias filters on.
