But that does not make trophy hunting bad, or even morally suspect. The manner in which the hunt is conducted can be subjected to moral scrutiny: one should not, for example, deliberately or recklessly cause needless pain and suffering.
I can see that you are immune to reason on this point, but I hope you'll forgive me for using your post to point out one of the logical errors that seem so prevalent among the anti-hunting fanatics.
You say "luring an innocent animal out of his haven to shoot him ... for a f***ing trophy"...
The first error is to anthropomorphize the animal by giving him moral agency "innocent animal". Animals can be neither innocent nor guilty -- they can't think, reason, sin or be saved. They are simply beasts, a category distinct from humans which are the only animals who are, in fact, capable of moral agency.
Your second error isn't necessarily logical, but simply betrays a lack of familiarity with the natural world. "lured...out of his haven". Well, the "haven" part betrays the same sort of illogical sentimentality of your first error, but there's no need to belabor that particular point. No, the second error is with the "luring" part.
One does not "lure" a particular game animal any more than one baits a hook with the hopes of catching a particular shark.
Which gets us to a corollary of the "luring" bit which is the area that might well be problematic for the hunting party. I have to admit ignorance of current game management practices in Africa. It may well be that the use of bait is currently illegal in that part of the continent, though with the general collapse of what could properly be called the rule of law in Rhodesia, excuse me, Zimbabwe makes that whole discussion almost academic. What I do know, for sure, is that just because using bait in North America for hunting large predators is illegal, we cannot draw the inference that it is even bad game management in Africa. It's utterly apples and oranges.
If one wants to go down the legal route, one has to address the fact that the "law" in "Zimbabwe" is largely what the murderous dictator Robert Mugabe says it is at any particular moment. And speaking of President Mugabe, it was widely reported that his own birthday party in March of this year feature a rather exotic menu.
"His guests were fed a young elephant, and two buffaloes, two sables and five impalas were also donated to the president by a local landowner. He also threw in a lion and a crocodile to be stuffed as an extra gift for Mugabe. On top of this, 40 cows were offered to the president by two members of his government. A second elephant is going to be shot and given to the Victoria Falls community."
