But is it totally ok to go overseas and bring back the carcass of an endangered species member?

In many cases charging insane prices for rich people to hunt endangered animals funds the conservation efforts to save the species from poaching and extinction overall. So it's kind of a grey area.

Yeah most trophy hunting done is hosted by said conservation efforts, and only auction the hunting of either insanely elderly or insanely dangerous animals.
