TR hunted animals for museums. He had many many porters carrying salt for the hides. In his book he did write that he started to hate lions and killed them on sight. Tree hugger Cleveland Amory wrote about TR in the 1970s and he was not nice about it.

I bet Roosevelt didn’t have his hunting contractor lure a poor dumb animal past protective boundaries he could not have understood so that he could puncture his body painfully with a bad shot with arrows and leave that poor animal to suffer for 40 hours until they could finish them off with a gun. For this, I’d like to introduce micro-genital Palmer to Mr. Louisville Slugger. Palmer is a hunter like slaughterhouse workers are hunters. They both work with canned game.
