Trophy Hunting

Trophy hunting was a term known to me reading news about people cruelly killing endangered species and animals in the wildlife. The pictures always made me cringe and I wondered what kind of a hobby is this. These animals are protected but when rich people throw in money they can do just about anything.

Recently I learnt about a similar case in Pakistan,our national animal is the Markhor a beautiful beastly creature which has such fascinating horns and looks fit to be the pride of Pakistan. It is also an endangered species and so is protected by the Government. This is where it all went wrong an American citizen hunted a beast for a price of 110,000$ unfortunately the protectors couldn't help themselves infront of such money in an interview the man seemed quute satisfied as he explained how he hunted down the innocent animal.

From January 2019 almost 50 Markhor have been hunted down all in the price range of approximately 100,000$ which is quite a lot of money for such a cruel hobby. Now a petition is being laid out to ban the hunting of the animal and I hope it gets approved before more of these creatures are hunted down.

No rich people can do what they want when corruption and SOB’s allow it. Should have put the rich guy in jail

Now it time to put the protector in jail.
Sorry to hear that HE JUST COULDN’T HELP HIMSELF.

It’s a shame and its not the hunters fault but the protectors for not stopping the hunter

Yeah that is also true if it wasn't for corruption this wouldn't have happened in the first place, the people who granted this should feel ashamed of themselves

I don't understand trophy hunting. Hunting for food (from thriving populations), I have no problem with, but hunting solely for sport is a terrible thing for sure.

That is the main problem with it what kind of a hobby is tgis cruelty

Thank you for this blog. I also cannot get my head around killing something, anything for pleasure. Ok, I get it when people need food. But how can it ever be a source of joy or pride to take life from another living being.
That picture breaks my heart, actually gives me pain. Someday that man will surely look back, if he lives long enough, and wish he could erase this moment from his life.
