17. And people who participate in these types of hunt are not "macho" either.

There is no possible danger to them when they set up their humongous guns with their high-powered scopes and the guide is right beside them and has has found the desired target. It's more the same concept as picking out a shirt at the mall than a real "hunt".

It is not "hunting" because someone else finds the animal to be shot. Someone else deals with the carcass after the animal is shot, and someone else ships the trophied head back home to the home or office where the big idiot who thinks he's all macho for having shot something sits on his ass and tells tall tails about his "hunt" to make himself look big.
