But unconcernedly stomping on a bug compared to shooting a giraffe for sport is not a good comparison. I'll compare them like that when they have similar population numbers. It's blood sport in exchange for money at issue, isn't it? I think that they can find a better way to make 10,000 bucks.

Bugs are probably the most numerous kind of life that humans have managed to get extinct, I mean specie wise. Bugs are not uniform population "bugs", there are different species, etc.
I don't see a problem in hunting giraffes, not even in just shooting giraffes, if it's done sustainable. Paying for hunting permit doesn't change it. Quite few things are totally free. When you put up some sport field, mall, etc., you unevitably deny life from many creatures for the unseable future. Or at least change the mix of the life.
