Nah, how about "the house, congress and the supreme court"?

I like to work problems big to small. Once we conquer our crumbling infrastructure, poverty, political and corporate collusion / corruption, Luke Bryan, gang violence, race relations and our corrupt media, then we can worry about tax paying citizens killing cute animals.

I think giraffe hunting would be like riding to Clinton and hunting dairy cows... wtf?

These gentle giants are docile by nature, but will defend themselves if attacked using their front feet. Man and lion are their only real predators and, due to shear size, the lion risks being kicked to death if he chooses to attack. When hunting giraffe, the approach can be very difficult due the terrain in which they are found. This animal has exceptionally keen eyesight, acute hearing, and a very cautious disposition - all of this, combined with his height, definitely give the advantage to him and not the hunter.

Hunting giraffe will most often be done by spot and stalk or tracking his very distinctive spoor. The giraffe has thick, tough skin and will require the same bullet selection as the elephant. While the faster 7mm’s are legal, the 9.3mm and .375 H&H with good quality solids are the best medicine for any body shot. The 40 calibers will be even more effective, with good quality soft-points being more effective for the brain or spinal shot. Shot placement can be tricky hunting giraffe; the heart lies in the center of the chest, far forward and above the shoulder joints.

His lungs are positioned well forward and high in the chest cavity as well. The brain is very small and positioned just below and between the horns. If you choose to make a spine shot, place it in the center of the neck where the neck joins the body. A quartering frontal shot should be aimed to break the prominent shoulder joint; avoid the quartering-away shot, take it only as a last resort! Hunting giraffe can make for an extremely interesting and exciting stalk; even though he is not recorded anywhere in the record books, this tall, camel like beast with the spots of the leopard can make for a most unusual trophy.

Why would people be mad at some paperwork?

That's how I feel. Take from nature what you need and leave the rest in peace. Trophy hunting is is selfish, arrogant, and unmanly.

Being able to pull on the bow without that rack getting in the way is impressive.

It's against the law to waste any part of an animal killed in a hunt, including bears.
