He was the alpha male of a pride who had fought many battles to win and maintain his pride. With human intervention a smaller weaker lion will take the pride and birth smaller weaker cubs, weakening the species. Not that difficult to understand, but physics and Greek for some.

Since most of the replies in this thread are emotion driven lets take a break from that for a min.

Cecil was a 13 year old lion. The life span of a male lion in the wild is 10-14 years. At some point in the very near future his cubs were going to be killed any way as this lion was nearing the end of his life span. It isn't like he was going to live for 15 more years and have 100's of more offspring.
