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?

I agree with you, Tanny. It isn't a pleasant prospect thinking that you need to shoot a lion so something else can live. I often feel that is an excuse. And the cold blooded nature of trophy hunters makes this sound all the more hollow. At least it does to me.

I cannot be trapped. I will walk out of all traps and pluck crossbow bolts out of my flesh like toothpicks. My name is Nerthus and I am eternal.
