Each year, over 126,000 wildlife trophies are imported to the U.S. Most trophies are iconic, beloved megafauna: African elephants, African lions, African leopards, southern white rhinos, and African buffalo. Over 1,000 different beautiful species have been killed and turned into trophies. Between 2005 and 2014, over 1.26 million total were brought in.
One website, www.onlinehuntingauction.com, makes money hosting these hunting auctions online. It allows users to bid virtually on “safaris,” hunting extravaganzas, military firearms, and taxonomy itself.
The website is full of images of people standing next to lifeless, bloodied animal bodies. Some are smiling proudly, others hold an emotionless face. But all share a few things in common: they spent a lot of money to kill animals, and they love doing it.
