Is hunting for fun or trophies a bit cruel?

The cruelest thing on this earth is nature itself.Sometimes it starves entire herds of animals because not enough food is produced. Sometimes they perish to death because of lack of rain.And for each animal that exists nature created a predator to kill and feed upon it.At the top of the predator chain is mankind. And to control mankinds population nature created diseases and gave us a warlike nature to help control the popluation.How cruel is that? In the overall scheme of things the killing for sport is among the least important issue of the century.It is not cruel, but simply unethical and stupid to waste an animal that could be converted to food. I dislike the person that would waste good meat as much as you do but for entirely different reasons.
