"...unprovoked attack." Well, no. You're in their territory
stalking them to kill, so acting like a predator. That was a
defensive move on the part of the buffalo.
While I do feel for the people he left behind, well, I can't
work up any sympathy for him. Hunting because you need food,
hunting to cull an oversized herd, hunting to remove diseased
members of a population I can get. Hunting for the hell of it?
No.

The people who do big game trophy hunting seem a little "off" to
me. Is it about power, or domination? Something else?
I think it's appalling.

I have no use for trophy "hunters".
I don't know of the status of her relationship now because I
have been estranged for almost 8 years, but, last I knew, my
older sibling was still with her married boyfriend. He is one
of these assholes. He takes many expensive "hunting" trips to
Africa just to shoot exotic animals he can't shoot state side,
including the type of trips where they release the animal from a
cage with the "hunters" standing at the ready to kill said
exotic animals. His large Texas McMansion-type house has
vaulted ceilings in the living/dining area, and the walls are
covered top to bottom with dozens of dead exotic animal heads.
He has a grizzly bear trophy, he has big cats, you name it. I
find this so very disgusting I had to insist my sibling stop
sending me photos of his trophies when they got together. IMO,
he is a waste of space, and I could never find a way to
reconcile my horse person used-to-be animal loving sibling
accepting this asshole. I really hope she has moved on from him
by now.
