Well, there are valid arguments relating to "culling" wildlife herds.
The wildlife management teams within various agencies, are charged with the job of maintaining the optimum size of a herd...versus the available forage and food, in a locale. Thus promoting a more stable and healthy group of animals.
Then, they issue (sell) a designated number of "hunting permits" to accomplish this "culling". This raises revenue for the process and enables those who enjoy "hunting", to do so. I think it's a better method than having the "said" agency, merely euthanize a number of animals, to accomplish the goals.
Perhaps (and probably in most instances), it's the same with the big game in Africa. My point was, that I don't understand the satisfaction a hunter might gain, by taking such "easy" shots? And, what is done with the animal afterward?
That is, besides some guy hanging a stuffed head in his parlor.
