Read an interesting article today about how most experts involved in conservation know that trophy hunting is not the main problem or the main threat to the lion and if you didn't have Americans willing to pay thousands of pounds to shoot them then both lions and the local areas could not be protected properly. And though everyone thinks they're cute and loveable animals but they wouldn't seem it if you were a local whose family and livelihood were under threat from them. Point remains of course that this guy acted illegally and that the hunting community are not famed for their ethics in their pursuits but a lot of the outrage is disproportionate especially given the little attention paid to a lot of human suffering around the world (as has been commented on)
