Argument Against Trophy Hunting
Trophy hunting is when someone pays to hunt animals for part of their body and puts it on the wall. This is unfair for animals because they don't have a choice if they want to be killed or not. It also makes species endangered so more things will become extinct.

Sometimes the rules aren't always followed, animals are being hunted illegally by being lured out of safe areas. Then they hunt animals that are endangered, that gives a bigger chance of extinction. Which will eventually lead the humans too the only animals left on the planet.

To begin with, trophy hunting should not be legal because hunting is cruel and people do not give the animals a fair fight. Just look at secil was shot by a arrow, then was tracked while he was bleeding.

    “Cecil the Lion Killed By American Dentist” was the headline that rekindled the controversial debate over trophy hunting. This debate is better represented by Goodwell Nzou’s article “In Zimbabwe We Don’t Cry For Lions” than in the passage by Alexis Crosswell “5 Reasons Why Trophy Hunting is Not Conservation.” Trophy hunting is the killing of animals specifically for the purpose of keeping a portion of the animal as a prize. Since the death of Cecil the Lion, the sport has come under significant fire from the media and sparked heated argument. Nzou has the stronger argument than Crosswell’s specifically because: it recognizes that humans personify deadly animals, the writer of “In Zimbabwe We Don’t Cry For Lions” has personal experience with the subject and that Goodwell Nzou explains that American priorities are more concerned with animals than starving people.…

    Hunters obey the laws enacted to protect the animals including game and non game animals. Hunters respect the animal they are hunting. It is fair chase and the animal becomes food for the Hunter and his/her family. Like it or not, we by nature are predators. AS of nowhunters, are the most efficient way to keep animal population under control. Since we have intruded into the animals area, there is less room and natural food for large populations. Larger populations means disease and hunger. Poachers kill animals illegally. They do not obey the laws. They kill for profit because some PEOPLE like to buy the tusk, furs, etc of non game and protected animals. Don't put the blame on Hunters, but the buisness owners that finance the Poachers with their illegal…

    Although each type of hunting involves the killing of animals; the two are different in many ways. The environmental impact and economic influence could be disturbing in both cases if certain measures fail to protect the animals from being harvested in large quantities through legal or illegal means. Poaching involves the illegal harvesting of animals for some type of personal or professional gain while trophy hunting tends to lean strictly on the side of personal gain for the thrill and adventure the individual hunter has during the hunt. Each category can entail monetary gain. The poacher may gain money through the illegal sale of his kill. The trophy hunter generally does not come out on the positive side when it comes to monetary gain since he or she must often pay a guide or hunting preserve for the opportunity to make the kill. Trophy hunting still provides an economic boost to the person or entity in charge of the…

    I am against the big game trophy hunting for many reasons supported by quotes from articles about the story, TMDG. Something so small and harmless may be thought as just a hobby, but in the end, it is a hobby that affects way more. Animals and humans can both receive harm when people hunt; especially when it involves many deaths and drastic changes in someone's life. Throughout the articles I read, I found that big game trophy hunting is quite dangerous; adding to my original thought about being against it.…

    When it comes to deer hunting a huge factor in success or failure is the land being hunted on. You could drive around and knock on doors of farmhouses to ask permission to hunt the land, but other possibilities would be to enter into a deer hunting lease through an outfitter or deer hunt club. Just imagine that in the states of Iowa, Kansas and Missouri alone, more than 200,000 acres of private land are available for deer hunting so gaining access to this land would increase the possibility of getting a trophy deer. Today, many landowners are creating an opportunity for deer hunters to use their land without the need to knock on doors to get permission.…

    The activity of hunting wild animals for food has long been a practice of man. It is what we as humans survived off for thousands of years. An instinctual need to pursue game is still alive in many of us. Unfortunately, those who choose to fulfill this instinct are generally condemned for their actions. Now this may not seem to be such a serious deal, but I assure you there is much more to this situation than first meets the eye. The topic of hunting is very significant because it not only affects hunter’s rights, but it affects landscape, funding wildlife preservation, and tradition.…

    Public debates about trophy hunting often centers on the question of the morality of recreational hunting or the extent to which the money paid by sportsmen seeking a trophy animal provides a conservation benefit to the overall population of game animals and the rural economies where the game is hunted. Bears, cougars, deer, foxes, and other animals who are chased, trapped, and even killed by dogs during hunts are not the only ones to suffer from this variant of the “sport.” Hunting for fun destroys property and injure or kill horses, cows, dogs, cats, hikers, and other hunters (Trophy…

    Many majestic animals have been the targets for poachers, and poachers, being the dumb people they are, don’t know the difference between animals they can and can’t hunt, and end up making them extinct! Hunting is interfering with nature, and at this rate, we will continue to make many species extinct! Some may see hunting as a way of removing overpopulated animals, but there are none of those right now! Hunting not only hurts animals, but it will end up hurting ourselves as well!…

Most animals will only eat humans when the humans are bleeding and weak. There is a fine line between humans and wild animals. Wild animals will not cross humans territory to harm us, if they are hungry they will eat the animals around…

    Some reasons several people believe that sport hunting is okay and necessary is because they think it reduces population and teaches people how to survive in the wilderness. It is fair to have this opinion, since if you are on a plane that crashes, or get lost in the woods on a trip, you would have the skills to hunt. Also, since human population is constantly increasing, getting rid of a few animals will guarantee humans have more space to expand, and will prevent animals from taking over.…

People can’t always tell animals apart because most of them look identical.The lion was lured of the conservation land by a group of people. There are no laws about luring animals so you could harvest the animal. This could be an incident that could be considered sport hunting because he was big and they knew he would…

    …I am not in a position to answer yes or no to the question. Considering the fact that “the law of the jungle” was contaminated by human law, I think everyone -not only mankind but all the animals- should live their lives peacefully. On the other hand, I literally eat a certain animals and think my life would be less satisfactory if I lost a chance to eat them.…
