Contrary to your silly assertions, the only practical morality is partly tied into the legality


My option was for those that viewed in entirely on the basis of legality, as implied by "I base my moral code simply on the law". Granted, I could have included many more poll options to more adequately cover possible views on the topic, but that would be frivolous and people will always be dissatisfied with the poll options, you being a prime example because I've certainly seen you whining about it several times, and not just in my topics.

Broadly speaking, hunting with the intention of using the animal for meat has a higher morality than mere trophy hunting but


I probably could've clarified but I figured it was clear I was referring to people who are hunting for sport. I'll accept the responsibility for this one and admit that it's my bad for not being more specific.

there's nothing to suggest that trophy hunting is inherently immoral even if the practice strikes many of us as distasteful.


I would say that taking a life for no purpose other than pride and/or fun is inherently immoral, though I grant that's subjective. But then so is all morality, so you could apply your "nothing inherently immoral" shlock onto anything.
