“Trophy hunters are like politicians, they both like to pull the trigger from the comfort of a safe distance.”
― J Bartell, The 231 Club: My Ten Year Journey From Therapist to CIA Courier and Sanctioned Kills - A True Story

“Isana had never understood men who made it a point to put trophies of their hunts on the walls. Gaius's study, its walls lines with the carcasses of books he had torn open and devoured, reminded her of nothing so much as old Aldo's hunting lodge, back in the Calderon Valley, and she thought it only marginally less boastful.”
― Jim Butcher, Princeps' Fury

“Crypto Cryptid by Stewart Stafford

There's no point in hunting beasts,
When you're the game you seek,
Idle trigger finger behind the gun,
Leave carcasses rotting in the sun.

Billions springing from blood;
From gushing oil to a crypto flood,
Cutthroat games played to the hilt,
Philanthropy, as rich boy's guilt.

Bought your justice and rude health,
Faux angelic in Faustian wealth,
Scalpel wielded for everything's price,
Trophy mansions rank with vice.
