There’s a great Joe Rogan podcast with a bow hunter, and Joe spends a lot of time explaining why trophy hunting can be great.
It funds conservation, which decreases poaching, which is better for literally everyone involved including the animals and the poachers.
I believe it also tends to be very controlled and directed so the effects can be planned.
Elephants can be a huge, dangerous, nuisance (apparently) to farmers who are trying to have enough food to eat. That’s just one example.
