Trophy Hunt

Why is dogfighting and cockfighting illegal and condemned when trophy hunting is perfectly respectable?

I believe it’s because it’s animal abuse to raise one animal or another to fight. I think the reason people hunt certain animals is because their over populated. They want all domesticated animals set free to make their way in the wilderness, and to end all hunting of wild animals. Of course, ending hunting would mean a horrible, slow death of starvation, as hunting is a means of keeping the animal population in balance. Survival of the fittest is Mother Nature’s way of balancing, but that is not enough. Humans have to help by hunting. I am not advocating going out, just killing animals and letting them lay. I am saying if you hunt and don’t eat the meat, give it to someone who does, thus helping both the animals and humans.That’s what I was once told. Also, read this similar Yahoo Answers article.
The way I see it is that on the one hand two animals are placed in a confined space and forced to fight to death by their owners. Hunting I am told is more humane, the animal has a chance to escape (from a high powered rifle with a telescope and all kinds of lethal mod-cons). Then there are those that go the conservation route and use the magical phrase ” sustainable economic utilization of natural resources”. What everyone forgets is that animals feel pain, fear, hunger etc just like us. As more evolved beings we should be able to respect this, surely.
I have to laugh at these brave hunters that go all over the world to hunt for trophies – it is big business here in Africa. Little do they know that locally it is called “canned hunting” a game farmer will buy a prime specimen from elsewhere and release it in a remote camped area of his farm. The tourist hunter will then be taken out to “hunt” The trick here is to keep the hunter on the farm for as long as possible because he will spend huge amounts of money while he is there. As soon as his patience runs thin the farmer will take him to the remote camp where the animal is kept. He will be led to the animal (sometimes drugged so that the hunter will not be harmed). The hunter will then with great excitement and all the fanfare shoot the animal. Back at home he can tell all his beer swilling buddies the usual bs.
