This started because a picture of an NHL player was made public and now people are calling him a monster because he did something that (I'm guessing) a few people on here would enjoy doing. Fact is, he's not the only one who trophy hunts, it's not illegal and worse things have and are happening to people in this country.

Your earlier statement equating swatting flies to killing grizzly bears is pure brilliance. Let's start with the fact that there are probably about 1 million humans on this planet for every grizzly bear, and probably a similar ratio of flies to humans.
Have you ever seen a skinned bear carcass? They look pretty damn human. Maybe not biologically, but humans and bears are as related as humans and monkeys in many ways. Would you look a monkey in the eye as you pulled the trigger? Not to get too hippy-dippy, but bears are commanding/significant/spiritual/you recognize a different kind of humanity when you are in their presence...
What's the difference between shooting a bear for no good reason and shooting a dog or a cat?
Trophy hunting is legal right now, and some people enjoy it, so that makes it okay? More pure genius.
Slavery was legal once, a bunch of people enjoyed it, so it was okay too, right? One could go on with about a million similar analogies...
Trophy hunting is senseless and stupid, and should not be legal. Hopefully sometime in the future it won't be - when the 'enlightened' people of that time look back at this time, they will shake their heads at barbaric dumbasses such as yourself. Give your own head a shake.
