Blood on Their Hands
Meet the “champions” of the world’s most shocking trophy hunting awards. These are not just names – they are the faces behind some of the most disturbing records in the industry. Each “winner” has claimed their place by killing staggering numbers of animals, including some of the world’s rarest and most iconic species. This is the grim reality behind these so-called achievements.
Malcolm King: The 650+ Kill King
Awards: Inner Circle Global Hunting Award (Gold), Animals of Africa Gold Award, Africa 29 Grand Slam, Cats of the World Grand Slam, and more.
What it took: King has killed as many as 650 animals, including elephants, rhinos, big cats, and dozens of endangered species, across five continents.
Notable quote: “He has been presented with dozens of different awards by Safari Club International. They include an award from the American group for shooting animals from over 125 different species.”
Off the hunt: Malcolm King is a retired property developer from Gloucestershire. He once managed a successful business career before dedicating his later years to pursuing trophy hunting awards around the globe.
To win just one of his top awards, King had to kill at least 125 different species – many of them large, rare, or endangered animals.
Abigail Day: The World’s Top Female Hunter
Awards: SCI’s Global Hunting Award, African Big 5, Grand Slam Africa 29, and more.
What it took: Day has killed as many as 200 animals, including some of the largest elephants and lions ever shot by a trophy hunter. She has hunted in 36 countries, including rare destinations like Iran and Azerbaijan.
Notable “trophies”: One of the world’s biggest elephants (Zimbabwe, tusks 81 and 77 lbs).
Off the hunt: Away from the hunting grounds, Abigail Day is a London-based lawyer who studied law at Cambridge University. She has held leadership roles in Safari Club International and is active in promoting hunting-related causes in the UK. She is also an adjudicator of OFSTED complaints.
Abigail’s achievements are celebrated by the industry, praised for obtaining some very high ranking trophies, including an 83lb elephant from Zimbabwe.
Arnold Alward: The Collector of 285 Species
Awards: SCI World Conservation Hunting Award, Weatherby Award, Big Five, and more.
What it took: Alward has hunted on 131 trips across six continents, killing 285 different species. His trophy room holds 350 animal mounts, including lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, baboons, and elephants.
Notable “trophies”: Two leopards from Zambia, a white rhino from South Africa, a spotted hyena from Ethiopia, and an African elephant with 225 lbs of tusks.
Off the hunt: Outside his trophy room, Arnold Alward ran a multi-million dollar family business in agricultural lime, fertilizer, and construction materials in New Brunswick, Canada. He sold his companies after a series of family tragedies to focus on hunting full-time.
Alward has 350 trophies of animals on display at his home in New Brunswick, spanning 285 different species.
Ricky Clark: The Macabre Collector
Awards: Multiple SCI awards, including the African Big 5.
What it took: Clark has killed lions, leopards, elephants, hyenas, zebras, and hippos. He once killed a hippo to use as bait for a leopard, cut off an elephant’s feet to make umbrella stands, and turned its skin into rifle cases.
Notable quote: “I got my elephant—f***ing crazy. I cried when I shot him… I went to Benin and I took the last lion in Benin ever.”
Off the hunt: When not on safari, Ricky Clark works as a TV presenter and runs a property management and pest control business in London. His trophy collection is displayed in an extension he specially built at his home.
Clark’s trophies are not just displayed – they are turned into household items, a chilling reminder of the commodification of wildlife.
Brenda Potterfield: The Family Affair
Awards: Multiple SCI lifetime achievement and family hunting awards.
What it took: Potterfield has led her children and grandchildren on hunts across six continents, killing over 100 different species.
Industry praise: She was awarded for making trophy hunting a family legacy, with children as young as nine joining the kill.
Off the hunt: Brenda Potterfield is known for her role in the family-owned MidwayUSA, a major US outdoor sporting goods retailer.
Potterfield has turned wildlife destruction into a family tradition – normalising and celebrating intergenerational killing. We wouldn’t want to be round their table for Christmas.
The 100 Club: Elite Mass Killers Family Affair
Award: SCI Hunting Achievement Award Gold (and Diamond).
What it took: To enter, hunters must kill at least 100 (Gold) or 125 (Diamond) different species, all large enough to qualify for the record books. Over 300 members have achieved this feat.
Off the hunt: Many members of the 100 Club are business executives, professionals, or retirees who use their wealth and leisure time to travel the world in pursuit of hunting accolades. Their “normal” lives are marked by affluence and access to exclusive hunting circles.
The scale of killing required for entry is staggering – hundreds of large, often rare animals lost for a place on a list. Read more about The 100 Club on Exposed: The Blog.
