Also it IS generally acceptable for people to kill for sport. It's even MORE so in countries other than the US. I had a boyfriend that was born and raised in Pakistan and bear fights and other blood sports were a weekly occurance. I think this is just another example of the typical American being ignorent and intollerant of other people's cultures. Would I personally endorse that kind of behavior is the US?? No, why? whats the difference? Well, simple. It's not acceptable here and more so it would be against the law. Especially the buying and selling of exotic animals.

And in Egypt and Pakistan, you would have just broken the law for expressing your opinion on the matter. Just because it is socially acceptable, does not make it right!

Only if my opinion was not asked of me. I happen to agree with a lot of the views of women in the middle east so lets stay on topic here. I dated the guy for a while for a reason here. But that is not what this debate is about.

It isn't in the US and the US has no right or purpose to police what happens in other nations. Let their government deal with it. I still stand by my original stance that although it isn't "wrong" in their culture it is taboo in ours. Furthermore it would be better publicity for tourism to do some of his other stunts.
