As much as I loathe trophy hunting (ie not for meat harvesting), I don't see the issue if it was taken legally. The animal conservatory determines at the outset of the year how many animals the area can sustain for that year. License fees are then sold. People forget that the HUGE license fees for taking these animals ($15,000-$40,000) goes back to keeping conservation areas properly funded. It also employs many locals who otherwise have ZERO prospect of finding work.

Yes, Im aware of the hunting/conservation argument. I think this type of trophy hunting is repugnant. Popping these animals with high powered weapons is utterly without merit. Kill that animal? Go ahead, use your hands.
I find her manufactured warrior woman/FOX pin up sexuality to be particularly distasteful and contrived. IMO, that she takes pleasure from killing for trophy makes her a pretty worthless human being.
