Trophy hunting hurts the overall population of
species, endangering animals further. In 2016, it was estimated that in a time period of 10 years, 3,414 mountain lions have been killed by trophy hunters in Colorado. Mountain lions are already a threatened species, and in December, a woman named Franchesca Esplin added to the ridiculously high numbers of mountain lions killed by hunters in Colorado.
Esplin proudly posted about her kill on social media saying it was at the top of her bucket list. She posted bloody photos holding the dead animal, even likening herself to him making physical comparisons between herself and the cat. But we’re sure she wouldn’t like to be hunted and killed as she did to the mountain lion. Not to mention, it would never be legal for someone to do that to her.
