Similarities Between Trophy Hunters And Serial Killers
Trophy Hunters & Serial Killers:
- Compelled to keep a trophy souvenir from their victims
- The killing is addictive and leads to more killings
- They seek fame, attention, and notoriety
- The kills are premeditated (who, what, where, how)
- The killing gives a surge of adrenalin (“thrill kill”)
- Stalking the victim gives a feeling of excitement
- Killing becomes a compulsion (addiction)
- The killing is seen as a “sport” or “game”
- There’s a down time (“cooling off” period) between killings
- Gives the killer a feeling of power, dominance, and control over their victim
- They are titillated by “the hunt” and fantasize about the kill
- Many document their kills via photos and/or videos to gratify themselves later
These people are psychopaths!
