A little more education on the topic here. A typical giraffe costs $3500 to harvest. In addition to meat provided to locals, that's $3500 more pumped into a struggling African nation. And these animals are not just shot willy nilly. They are managed to a greater extent than animals here. Because for many Africans, this is their natural resource for livelihood.
I met several trophy hunters when I worked for that local gun range. To the man (they were all men) they were just as proud of the contributions they made to the locals as they were the trophies they harvested.
