What they're describing is different from the hunting culture that persists in developed societies. It's more like hunter gatherer hunting for bushmeat embedded in an agricultural and livestock raising society where such hunting is unnecessary so the hunt is more about status, which is a bit unique.

It seems like you just described "the hunting culture that persists in developed societies".

Just like with Ebola, we really like using "bushmeat" as othering language to describe hunting.

Never thought of it like that but “bushmeat” is just hunted game. Right?

Yep.
