As a hunter, I had a hard time watching this, and had to run to the house and get the gun and do something.

I know its gotta be pretty fulfilling to sit in your ivory tower and look down upon us barbarians - but there is a need for hunting, whether it be "trophy hunting" or "hunting" (still don't see the difference personally, as you are committing the same "act").
There is no glory in shooting an animal for sport. There just isn't. Justify it all you want, but you're ending a life just to satisfy your own desires. Like I said, let Mother Nature sort it out, let her institute her own form of population control.

Taking the head of an animal just so you can put it on your wall is indeed barbaric, and no amount of reasons or excuses will justify it.
