The guy talking to Lou obviously made alot of money from people wanting to hunt for fun, so he didn't have a problem with it and anyway he said that in killing an animal he gets money which he uses to buy more of that "on the brink" species which he and people like him manage making sure it doesn't become extinct-kinda solving the problem mankind created.

Personally I don't think it's neccessary to hunt and kill anything unless your survival depends on it, what is the point of doing it for fun? Isn't that just a pointless ego-trip of the planets apex predator who takes and takes?
