This is how the local population takes care of this. Until professional hunting became the norm, the local population killed entire herds. Poaching was constant and threatened to eliminate the animals entirely. By charging for hunts, the local population can afford to hire people to protect the herds from poachers. This makes the animals more valuable to preserve as income for the local population. Otherwise, the only value these animals have to them is their meat.

What does that say about the one who pays for the thrill of the kill?

He's not interested in any of the reasons you just mentioned. His insta account shows his motives.

It's one thing to hunt with a party for moose or deer, skin it, gut it and have resources for months. To travel halfway across the planet to kill large beasts in a controlled environment as u mentioned shows his true motives.

His motives are irrelevant. No matter the motives of a hunter, his actions help the animals and the people in the community.

His actions got him eaten. His motives are what made him a pos and what I was originally commenting on.
