Sounds like the system worked and the poacher and guide are being prosecuted. Bad deal all around.

The obvious thing to do is make the hunter the prey.
That is interesting...
Bring back gladiatorial fights, man vs. Lion. A poacher caught will be sent to fight the lion in a fair fight - bare knuckles only!

I am a meat hunter (no snide remarks now!) and I do not understand trophy hunters, be it a big rack or meaningless head hunts as in the case of this lion.

I have nothing in common with that sort of hunter nor do I even want to associate with them.

My uncle, a corporate lawyer for his entire career, has a 'trophy' room full of game from Africa. I -just-don't-get-it.  :mad:

Meat hunter here as well....a trophy means nothing to me, but I do understand why they allow these hunts in Africa. (Not saying you don't)

Good ol' social media now'adays....



Social Justice Warriors are getting a little out of hand... Keep in mind these are the people sitting in a climate controlled room in front of a luxury item (tablet, PC, laptop) telling others what they can, and can't do. 

It was an unethical kill, plain and simple. Appropriate conservation action should be taken by the appropriate authorities. If those authorities happen to be corrupt, welcome to the real world north american ignorance.  :cool:

Oh and, IN!

"What lion?" acting information minister Prisca Mupfumira asked in response to a request for comment about Cecil, who was at that moment topping global news bulletins and generating reams of abuse for his killer on websites in the United States and Europe.

"Are you saying that all this noise is about a dead lion? Lions are killed all the time in this country," said Tryphina Kaseke, a used-clothes hawker on the streets of Harare. "What is so special about this one?"

"Why are the Americans more concerned than us?" said Joseph Mabuwa, a 33-year-old father-of-two cleaning his car in the center of the capital. "We never hear them speak out when villagers are killed by lions and elephants in Hwange."

Why did he just kill it by stabbing it in both eyes with a sharp stick :old:

shooting it with a gun means that dentist boy had some decent morals.

The fact that these sort of people cannot understand that gaining self gratification by killing animals who are walking by minding their own business is a bit creepy.
