on our wall.

I don't hunt. I don't begrudge those who do.

But i don't understand it, especially trophy hunting.

If you want to kill it and eat it, fine. But it just seems weird to walk into someone's home and see dead animals on the wall. And a special place of prominence for the really rare ones or the really beautiful ones.

Now, if you want to wrestle a grizzly bear with your bare hands and if you win the fight, you can brag about that.

But sneaking up on a goat, and paying guides to help you....

Where is the sport, where is the danger, where is the competition in that?
