sport hunting
Trophy animal pursuit
Sport hunting is the killing of wild animals primarily for recreation, trophies, or competition rather than for food or population control.
Hunters may pursue deer, elk, birds, or big game like lions and elephants.
The practice is controversial—defenders cite conservation funding and tradition, while critics call it cruel or ecologically harmful.
