Trophy hunters have a bloodlust

  to kill. Some love inflicting pain.

First they stalk the terrorized animals.

Then they kill them, often not with

   bullets but much more painful

   bows and arrows.

Next comes the skinning, the gutting,

the drawing and quartering

euphemistically called field dressing.

That is followed by the stuffing of their

victims by a taxidermist.

Finally the animal is mounted

or his or her head is nailed to a wall

like the habit of a rapist who likes to nail women.
