the worst kind of people on earth, the quicker game hunting is banned for good the better, how these hunters think they can buy a animal's life is disgusting

Its gun totting madness and its is all about his own insecurities. The bigger and rarer and wilder the game, the better he feels about himself.

Men like this are just about as sick as they come.

You're not including me in the "we" are you? And how long has it been since you paid a fortune to shoot a wild animal?

Humans were "hunter killers" (very sexy name for something quite primeval) in order to eat. That's completely different from someone who kills an animal for fun probably because it's the only way he can get a stiffy.

I wish this man (and I use the word "man" in its loosest possible sense) tragedy and death.

We were hunter gatherers, and you're missing out the evolutionary bit. Do you think for one second neolithic people would've hunted if there was a steakhouse on every corner?
This isn't a sport it's a sick mans fantasy, making thinks more rare, beautiful and powerful than you dead. I am firmly of the mind that all that kill for 'sport' are ill in the head.

The point i was making is that it is a basic instinct that every single human being has. Granted, its not necessary these days, but it is still what we are.

I have paid to go fishing, it is a legal sport here in the UK, and as long as it remains legal I will continue to do it.

A fish not an elephant. What did you do with the fish, did you eat it or throw it back?

Shooting an animal for thousands of dollars with a high-powered rifle with no risk at all to yourself is not a basic instinct.

Get some perspective, are you trying to equate illegal big game hunting with fishing for tiddlers?...

Was the elephant an endangered species? Was the hunter breaking the law? If the answer to both questions is no, then there is no justification for the outcry toward the hunter. Lobby to get elephants protected, lobby to get hunting banned. It is completely wrong to target people for doing things if they are perfectly legal.

There are two way to look at this. If it's legal, is it automatically moral? Well, no, it isn't. Also, this is Zimbabwe we're talking about. Zimbabwe. Possibly one of the most corrupt regimes in the world so you assuming this is all perfectly legal and above board because someone in Zimbabwe who probably makes money out of this disgusting trade, says it is.

'The most disappointing thing is that when a local Zimbabwean kills an animal for food for his family, he is sentenced to between 5 and 15 years in prison but when a wealthy foreign hunter comes in and shoots an animal, he gets away with it. What message are we giving the people?'

Whoever does this ,man OR woman is pond life imo,and someone who thinks that this is 'ok' is as bad , there is no hope for humanity as long as dregs like this keep getting stiffys by cowardly shooting an animal that has never done them any harm ,I hope there is a mass backlash on this as there was with Cecil,we can do good IF we can get barbarity like this banned,I hope the shooter gets trampled on by the biggest elephant in the herd ,but no such luck eh?

Strong post and points and well said too.

I just get sickened hearing about these things, I agree with Josy have people pay to hunt the so called hunters.

You don't win cases in court based on morality. I don't want to come across as overly harsh, but there is a point of principle here. Those suggesting the hunter should be killed etc, are actually in instances like this more in the wrong than the hunter

There are ways to change these things, by changing peoples views, lobbying for protection and getting these things made illegal. Lynch parties are not the solution.

I've never had an "instinct" to go shooting animals for no reason.

It's not what "we" are, it's what some people are. Some really backwards, bloodthirsty people.
