Hunting has a long history of taking the best trophies, not the worst. Kind of brain dead.

I think you are distorting this.

There may very well be a subset of hunting that is only interested in trophies...but a "trophy" is a relative and subjective thing to each individual hunter.

For some, successfully hunting a certain animal is the "trophy" aspect of the hunt and they are in fact culling the weakest and not just interested in the largest animal or trophy horns...so to speak.

More on point, the vast majority of hunting is still for meat and the sport of it.(In this country anyway). This still involves culling the weakest, or the animals least able to escape hunters by definition.
