What would you think if they showed up and asked to pay you to do this job? Kinda odd, right?
The responsible management of domestic and wild species includes culling. I don’t blame the natives at all for taking advantage of this market, either way. I’m glad the meat gets used and they are getting paid for the privilege of eating it.

That wasn’t the point of my statement- as explained above-
Trophy hunters are different- Yes they pay for the experience- BUT the experience is more than just going out and shooting the trophy and going home in an hour or so- it’s the whole African (or wherever they hunt) experience- days hunting in beautiful places- seeing things you’ve never seen before, experiencing life on a different level- meeting new people and learning about different societies- etc etc, and at the end of the day getting to take home a reminder of that whole experience- -

Which is what almost all trophy hunters engage in nowadays (Those who hunt legally) as hunting trophies is a tightly regulated process and is part of the culling process-
