He broke serious laws in Zimbabwe. He should be extradited and tried there for his crimes.
The laws broken really aren't that serious. He had a permit to take a lion. He just took it in the wrong spot. No other laws were violated. This the equivalent of fishing or hunting along the state line and drifting over the border to where your license is invalid. Only the international uproar has caused this to be anymore than a fine and a slap on the wrist.
No since Zimbabwe's laws are written in pencil. It's in his best interest to delay extradition until this warrants no more than a backpage article and the occasional tweet. That way, he can just pay the fine and the bribe and come straight home.

It's a great deflection from the Planned Parenthood fiasco.

Yeah, the poor dentist, the poor picked on dentist. Poor him. There, how's that for fabrication? 
And yes, the poli board is bleeding into the OT. God help us.

Imagine if you got as outraged at the thousands of black on black homicides every year?

Zimbabwe has a tradition of using trophy hunting to promote wildlife conservation. Through the CAMPFIRE program, which ran from 1989 to 2001, more than $20m was given to participating communities, 89% of which came from sports hunting. In more recent times, populations of elephants and other large herbivores have been shown to benefit from trophy hunting.
Zimbabwean trophy hunting generates roughly $16m of revenue annually. While it has been rightly pointed out that only 3% of this goes towards local communities, the ethical implications of removing this money without a clear alternative need to be examined.
The economic impact of trophy hunting in comparison to tourism as a whole may not be huge, but what is the alternative if it is made illegal? Zambia banned trophy hunting of big cats in 2013, only to reverse it earlier this year because the government needed the money to fund conservation.

Hunters are willing to go to remote and unstable areas that most photographic tourists are unwilling to venture into. Far more photographic tourists would have to travel to Africa than hunters to make up the same level of revenue, so the carbon footprint from all that air travel would surely have a significant environmental impact. It should also be noted that the potential for nature tourism is not equally distributed, with the industry often focused only around a few locations. This leaves other regions without access to tourism revenue. Oh, and let's not forget that wildlife reserves can also kill lions.

Definitely the same as killing a deer or catching a fish.
