And?? You could already hunt them, just couldn't bring them back to the states. I don't see an issue with the change.
Then why bother with this change?

I am going to guess you have little to no experience when it comes to dealing with animal herd size as people encroach on their territory?
Do you know what happened when Wolves were reintroduced to yellow stone?
By culling the herd you encourage growth, you also limit the chances of people being killed by the predators.

Yeah, I understood that.. but I'm fairly sure that by changing the law you're signalling that you condone it AND making it more attractive to people by letting them import the wonderful mementos of their killing expeditions..
If the host country allows the hunt then why blame the U.S?
You mean for making it more enticing to go on these hunts? I can't imagine why.
How's the big game hunting in Canada?

Wait your argument is, since one country does it, it is ok for America to do it?
Wouldn't it be better if America was not part of the illegal animal trade? Which is going to happen, now that poachers can sell to Americans who want to bring home a trophy.

Sure.. and Sri Lanka and Thailand are by far the worst nations for child prostitution so.. if a few more people start screwing kids in the states it'll be miniscule in comparison.. no worries eh?
Oh and since you missed the point last time and somehow thought I was actually advocating mass murder, I'll make it clear.. I'm not actually advocating you guys start screwing kids
