This...Is...Africa

An African hunting safari is viewed as the greatest hunting adventure on the world by most.  Traveling the planes of Tanzania or Namibia to take back a trophy cheetah, leopard, or zebra.  Rich CEO's and large business owners take a week long five star, expense paid hunting trip for what?  Hunting is supposed to be about the spiritual journey of man and nature.  The hunter trains and hones it's skills to challenge the animal and also has a deep respect.  In African hunting safaris, guides provide the rifles, haul the hunter's gear, and set them up for the perfect shot.  Hell, the "Hunters" don't even clean their kill, just snap a picture and wait for the animal to be served on their platters that night.  They go back to their luxury resort with a mint on their pillow.  So, what do the "Hunters" actually get out of this?  The whole scenario is simple, they are assholes when the leave and they are assholes when they get back.
