Trophy hunting is hunting where they use the animals they kill as decorations(EXAMPLE:hanging the head of a dead deer on a wall). I found an Wikipedia article on trophy hunting(link is below) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trophy_hunting (Wikipedia Link Contributed by Elthon Cisneros) Big game hunting is when hunters go after really large, and usually dangerous, animals. Usually, this is primarily done for sport. The meat is often eaten, but the main prize is the trophy head, which is then taken home and displayed for all to see. Traditionally, BGH refers to the "African 5": elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, rhinoceros. Today, it includes wild boars, alligators, and bears. People often think that BGH is awful because it results in the death of these animals, but there is another side to the story. Because BG hunters bring so much money to the communities where it takes place, the communities then start seeing the animals as a valuable resource and work to protect these animals as well as care for them when necessary. Instead of killing them for food or seeing them as a danger that should be eliminated, communities look after these animals and benefit from the money that comes from regulated hunting. This is a wikipedia article to it: [] And this is a video I found on youtube of an old-style tiger hunt: []
