Trophy hunting is the killing of animals, usually wild animals, for pleasure, display or bragging rights. When the animal is hunted, the trophy hunter will carve out the part or parts that they wanted from the animal and usually leave the rest of the animal. The practice, therefore, results in the death of the animal and loss of its parts for display as a trophy. Trophy hunters pay large sums of money, often tens of thousands of dollars, to travel around the world to kill wild animals.
