Pronunciation: [bˈɪɡɡˈe͡ɪm hˈʌntɪŋ] (IPA) 
Big-game hunting is a popular leisure activity in many parts of the world, but it also faces criticism from animal rights activists. There are many synonyms for the term "big-game hunting," such as trophy hunting, safari hunting, or sport hunting. Each of these descriptions puts a different emphasis on the activity portrayed. "Trophy hunting" suggests the goal of obtaining an animal specimen as a trophy, often to display the head, pelt or horns of the animal. "Safari hunting" might have a travel emphasis, implying an exotic adventure rather than simply looking for a particular animal. "Sport hunting" also stresses the competitive nature of hunting with a focus more on the actual challenge involved.
