I didn't even make a case for culling elk - but I will. All I said is that they are overpopulated in one area - and with no know predators in that area, the best form of population control is through hunting.
Why do I need to make a damn case for trophy hunting? Law says I am able to do it - you make the case as to why I can't. As I have said previously, I utilize the meat as well, so if I happen to take down a nice animal, why can't I enjoy that as well? I have shot animals that "don't make the wall" - does that make me a better person now? I fail to see how it is morally different in my instance - I kill an animal, use it's meat and horns - I am a bad person. I kill an animal, use it's meat and throw away it's horns - I am a good person?
