Reason:

TROPHY HUNTING should not be BANNED

CON's argument is fairly insubstantial for start to end. Why negate a negative proposition rather than assert the affirmative. Should not not be banned is a more complicated question than merely stating Trophy hunting should be banned.

CON gives us no definitions or terms. In the absence of any BoP claims, the burden is squarely on CON here and he's allowed precious few characters to fulfill that burden.

CON's sole argument is that removing trophy's from the natural cycle of life and death, hunters deprive the environment of fertilizer. CON offers no discussion of the extent of impact or discernable consequences of this decrease in fertilizer. Are there plant or animals species that are failing due to the impact of trophy hunting?

PRO goes straight to impact by comparing that impact to the impacts of agriculture or tourism and backs the claim with legit and sufficient sources.

CON's really needed a more compelling affirmative and also needed to show at least that hunting, farming, and tourism are not the only options but CON forfeited, dropping all arguments and losing this debate.
