    Who would want to kill a lion? Inside the minds of trophy hunters

    This article starts of as if it's extremely biased towards an animal rights perspective, but stick with it, I think that's just a ruse to draw in the average Guardian reader. By the end it has painted a fairly balanced picture that gives both sides a chance to have their say.

    I'm not personally a fan of trophy hunting, but I also know that we don't live in ShouldLand so I'm fine with it being legal and regulated. And I'm glad to hear the meat is being used.

    Though I still maintain that feeding deer (or any animal) so you can hunt them is cheating. Same for canned hunting. Do it for food, fine, but it ain't much of a trophy, lol.
