Arguments Against Trophy Hunting
Trophy hunting is where someone kills exotic wild animals for pure enjoyment. Many trophy hunters will hang up the animal’s skin or the head as a reward. Hunting on the other hand is mainly killing deers, bears, turkeys, boars and many other animals for food and clothing. Hunting is used for food and clothing which is helpful for us, but just using animals for their heads to say you killed one seems inhumane. Trophy hunting is unacceptable for several reasons. According to a 2015 Business Insider article, about 70,000 animals are killed each year by trophy hunters, and most of the animals are either endangered, threatened, or near-threatened.
Trophy hunters say that they will pay up to two million dollars a year to hunt, and that the money goes to help the local communities. Only 3 percent of the money goes to the local communities. 3 percent of 2 million dollars is $60,000 which is not doing anything to help the communities because they haven’t gotten any …show more content…
Keeping the population balanced by hunting really only counts for some animals such as deer. If we didn't hunt deer there would be too many and eventually they would starve to death. However, lion hunting is entirely different. There are only about 30,000 lions left which is means they are endangered. If a hunter kills a male lion that is a leader of the pack, the rest of the lions are open for the kill of other animals which leads to more deaths of lions, which brings the number of their population down and can eventually lead to extinction.
Trophy hunters think killing these big, dangerous animals keeps us safe. Many animals don’t even want to go by humans because they are scared. 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
