There is extreme hypocrisy here - while wealthy Americans are paying to shoot an animal in a pen, dirt poor African poachers are being told they can't hunt endangered species.
At least the poachers are doing it to make money. And there's probably more skill involved in getting into a reserve and getting away with an animal than just shooting a caged ram.
If you're going to hunt for sport, then fine. But make sure it at least bears a resemblance to a sport, not just bloodlust.
