It's been like since 1908 or so since this happened.

I wouldn't expect it to occur anytime soon.

I'm sure this has already been said many times, but do the retards who are sending death threats down on this guy not understand that by hunting the lions it is allowing them to be sustainably managed and bred to thrive??

Hey a-hole, hunters like this allow the capital to flow into these poor areas so that the state and the preserves can manage the animals in a healthy and sustainable way. Take away the hunters and these animals are all teetering on the edge of extinction because, guess what? The African herdsmen who live there don't love living around a shite ton of deadly man eating lions.

The dentist's story doesn't add up to me. He would have seen the GPS tracker before they beheaded the lion. Based on his past history of breaking gaming laws, he likely believed he'd get away with it. He probably panicked when he realized he'd just killed the most famous lion in Zimbabwe and decided to inform the authorities.

My take. This dentist is fricked.

Tell that to the government of Zimbabwe they don't appear to have a problem with it. Why blame this hunter who did everything legal. Maybe a mistake was made but that's no reason to be out for blood. These animals are managed.

I think it's retarded to ruin a guy's livelihood for this. Fine him, jail him, whatever it is but it's over the top to drag him this much through the ringer.

Also there should be something done to prevent this from happening again.


Nope. Stupid guy probably posted his picture with a dead lion on some type of social media. THAT was stupid.

Keep it to yourself and move along. Hang the picture in your home.

Dumbarse wanted to brag and it got him in a pickle.

To the Coliseum with him! To the lions!

It's all over the news here. You better believe they have a big problem with this. The fact it was a wealthy American is going to make his problems even worse.

I don't think luring a 13 year old lion out of a protected area with food quite qualifies as preserving sustainability.

In Zimbabwe, you'd think that Mugabe would relish at the opportunity to throw some white people in jail and ruin their lives forever. He is good at that.

Someone of you all don't realize how truly psychotic hunting for sport really is. You are getting pleasure out of killing another living being, but will be the first to call a minority an animal for looting a store.

If it wasn't for the truly psychotic hunters, these animals would be going extinct. The hunters manage the animals.

This. He fricked up in pretty much the worst place a white person could frick up in Africa. Mugabe hates him some white folk.

Tell me how not hunting an animal will cause it to go extinct.

like I said, 18 hour stalk hunt.

And yes, being 50 yds away from a huge cat that could slice you into 10 pieces in 1 second is a huge rush.


Yea, I am sure this guy and his crossbow was flanked by a guide or 3 with rifles.
