big-game hunting
Pursuing dangerous wildlife
Big-game hunting is the pursuit and killing of large wild animals—elephants, lions, bears, moose, Cape buffalo—typically for sport or trophies rather than subsistence.
The practice has colonial associations and remains controversial, with defenders citing conservation funding and critics decrying it as cruel spectacle: He went on a big-game hunting safari in Tanzania.
