The 180

A response to last week's defence of trophy hunting

On our last show, we heard a passionate defence for trophy hunting. This week, we hear from a man who prefers to shoot animals with a camera.

Who cares if you eat what you kill? Reaction was swift and loud to a trophy hunter who spoke on our show last week. But one listener wrote to ask why it matters if a human eats the spoils of a hunt, because nothing really goes wasted in nature. We hear from a conservation group that supports hunting for fun as long as it results in food as well.
