I could understand it if they did it in some way that tests their skill. I would still think it was a vile way to "entertain" oneself, but I could at least understand it.

But what the fuck did this guy do here? Lure out a lion with bait, then shoot it with a high-powered rifle? Taking a "trophy" implies that you did something notable, worthy of remembrance. All this trophy says is, "I used a large weapon to kill a creature that didn't even know I was there, from a safe distance, after luring it to my location so I didn't have to walk too far."

He spent lots of money killing a wild animal which has been classified as a hunting achievement long before any of us were born, while it is still legal to hunt them.
That will raise his status by the people that shares his views about hunting.
