I missed some of these posts. Some wonderful posts, which will take some time to have a good look over and read. That book looks worthwhile investigating too.

Looking at some of the trophy photos, guys sitting on elephants, tigers hanging from a pole, guys that 'might' have taken photos with their foot on the beast in the photo, it reminds me of some of hoo-hah and shrill carry on by "modern hunters" when they see some of this stuff today, claiming it is disrespectful or even far worse eg a guy who was sitting on a rhino recently, yet it was often commonplace not long ago, and not disrespectful back then. Guess times have changed ...

I think today it is often called envy myself.
