They ride a jeep into the bush with a high-powered rifle to shoot an animal at a distance where it has no chance whatsoever of either defending or fleeing.

They have a hell of a lot higher chance than the billions of cows that are slaughtered in factory farms which never had any opportunity to escape in their lives tbh. Lives spent entirely in captivity as opposed to hunted animals that lived free. I know more than one thing can be bad but trophy hunting is a complete non-issue compared to factory farming both in scale and humaneness except when it's targeting endangered animals

You've created a relative privation and are distracting from the discussion with a red herring; let's separate the issues. Trophy hunting is not a sport, and trophy hunters do not kill to eat. AND industrialized farming is inhumane and bad for the environment. These issues are unrelated and are not mutually exclusive. There is no value in comparing them.
